Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears Fresh corn on the cob
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375°F to 400°F (190°C to 200°C).
In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to make a flavored butter mixture.
Peel back the husks of each ear of corn without fully removing them, and remove the silk threads. Fold the husks back into place, covering the kernels.
Soak the corn (with husks on) in a large bowl of cold water for 10 minutes to prevent charring during grilling. Pat dry after soaking.
Place the corn on the grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes to evenly char all sides. The husks will darken and kernels will become tender.
Remove the corn from the grill and carefully peel back the husks (use gloves or tongs if hot), leaving them attached for presentation if desired.
Brush the flavored butter generously over the grilled corn, ensuring each ear is well coated.
Sprinkle the grilled corn with chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese (if using) for added flavor.
Serve immediately as a tasty side dish or snack!
