Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces ears of corn
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 sheets aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F).
Shuck the corn, removing all husks and silks, and rinse under cold water to clean.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Lay out 4 sheets of aluminum foil, one for each ear of corn.
Brush each ear of corn generously with garlic butter, and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika to taste.
Wrap each ear of corn tightly in aluminum foil and place on the preheated grill.
Grill the corn for approximately 15–20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
Carefully remove the corn from the grill and let it rest for 2 minutes before unwrapping the foil.
Once unwrapped, brush the corn with any remaining garlic butter, sprinkle generously with grated Parmesan cheese, and garnish with chopped parsley.
Serve hot and enjoy your Cheesy Barbecued Corn on the Cob!
