Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears fresh corn on the cob
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 4 pieces lime wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F).
If the corn on the cob still has its husks, peel them back (but do not remove completely) and remove the silk. Rewrap the husks or remove them entirely. If desired, soak the husked corn in water for 10 minutes to prevent burning.
In a small bowl, mix the softened unsalted butter with the chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well incorporated.
Place the corn on the grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, rotating every 3-4 minutes to ensure even cooking. The kernels should be tender and slightly charred in spots.
Once cooked, remove the corn from the grill and immediately brush the spiced butter generously over each ear while they are still hot.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the buttered corn, ensuring it sticks to the surface.
Garnish with optional fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
Serve the corn hot, with lime wedges on the side for a citrusy kick if desired. Enjoy your Parmesan Chili Corn on the Cob!
