Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears corn on the cob
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 garlic bulb
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and your grill to medium heat.
Prepare the roasted garlic: Chop the top off the garlic bulb to expose the cloves slightly. Place the bulb on a small piece of foil, drizzle it with olive oil, and wrap it tightly in the foil.
Roast the garlic in the oven for 30 minutes or until the cloves are golden and softened. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
While the garlic is roasting, prepare the corn: Remove the husks and silks from each ear of corn. Rinse the corn under cold water and pat dry.
Place the corn on the grill, turning every couple of minutes, until the kernels develop grill marks and a smoky aroma, about 10-12 minutes.
Make the garlic butter: Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves into a small bowl. Mash them with a fork until smooth. Add the softened butter, salt, and black pepper, and mix until well combined.
Once the corn is grilled, generously brush or spread the roasted garlic butter over each ear while still warm.
For an extra burst of flavor, sprinkle with chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy with your favorite BBQ dishes!
