Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears Fresh corn on the cob
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.5 teaspoons Lemon zest
- 4 sheets Aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 375°F or 190°C).
Remove the husks and silk from each ear of corn. Rinse and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
In a small bowl, combine softened butter, parsley, thyme, garlic, salt, pepper, and lemon zest. Mix until evenly combined.
Tear off four sheets of aluminum foil, each large enough to wrap a single ear of corn (approximately 12 x 12 inches).
Place each ear of corn on the center of a sheet of foil. Spread 1 tablespoon of the herbed butter mixture evenly over the entire surface of each ear of corn.
Wrap each ear of corn tightly in the foil, sealing the edges to form a secure packet.
Place the foil-wrapped corn on the preheated grill. Cover and cook for 20 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Carefully remove the packets from the grill using tongs, and let them sit for 2 minutes before unwrapping (be cautious of hot steam).
Serve immediately, optionally garnished with additional chopped parsley or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
