   In a shallow bowl, combine the cilantro, lime juice, olive oil and water. Roll the corn in the cilantro oil, then place on the foil; brush with any remaining cilantro oil.

Note: This recipe appears in the WW New Complete Cookbook. I tried this recipe with the baked chicken recipe and it was really nice for a change. I usually boil a pot of water and let the corn sit in the hot water for 20 minutes. Oven-roasted corn is really good and I'm sure it will taste just as good with different herbs as well.
