Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears corn on the cob
- 4 tablespoons vegan butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. This will be used to cook the corn.
While waiting for the water to boil, shuck the corn by removing the outer husks and silk threads until the corn is clean.
Once the water is boiling, carefully add the corn to the pot and cover. Cook the corn for about 8-10 minutes or until the kernels are tender.
In a small saucepan, melt the vegan butter over low heat. Once melted, stir in the salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix until well combined.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and add it to the melted vegan butter mixture. Stir to incorporate.
After the corn ribs are tender, remove them from the boiling water using tongs, and let them drain briefly on a paper towel.
Brush the melted vegan butter mixture generously over each ear of corn, ensuring even coverage on all sides.
Serve the corn on the cob immediately while hot, optionally garnishing with a sprinkle of extra chopped parsley or a squeeze of additional lemon juice for extra flavor.
