Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears corn on the cob
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Peel back the husks of the corn without removing them and remove all the silk.
Brush each ear of corn with olive oil ensuring all sides are coated.
Sprinkle the corn with salt and black pepper evenly.
Fold the husks back over the corn, twisting the tips to secure.
Place the corn on the grill. Cook for about 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the husks are charred and the corn is tender.
While the corn is grilling, melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave it until just melted.
After removing the corn from the grill, carefully peel back the husks.
Brush each ear with melted butter and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the corn.
