Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears Fresh corn on the cob
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F).
Remove the husks and silks from the ears of corn. Alternatively, you can leave the husks partially on if you prefer a rustic presentation.
Brush each ear of corn lightly with olive oil to help prevent sticking and to enhance grill marks.
Place the corn directly on the grill grates and close the lid. Grill for approximately 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even charring. The corn should have a mix of golden and lightly charred kernels.
While the corn is grilling, prepare the garlic dill butter. In a small bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, minced garlic, chopped fresh dill, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well blended.
Once the corn is done grilling, remove it from the grill and transfer it to a serving platter.
Using a spoon or spatula, spread the garlic dill butter generously over each ear of corn while it’s still warm. The heat will melt the butter and coat the kernels evenly.
Serve immediately as a flavorful side dish for barbecued meats, grilled vegetables, or a fresh summer salad. Enjoy!
