Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces ears of corn (husks removed)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 teaspoon garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F/200°C).
Brush each ear of corn lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.
Place the corn directly on the grill grates and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the kernels are slightly charred and tender.
While the corn is grilling, make the Parmesan butter. In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Once the corn is cooked, remove it from the grill and place it on a serving platter.
Generously spread the Parmesan butter over each ear of corn while it is still hot, allowing the butter to melt and coat the kernels.
Serve immediately with a wedge of lemon for squeezing over the top for added brightness.
