Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears Fresh corn on the cob
- 4 tablespoons Ghee
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Remove the husks and silk from the corn ears. Rinse them thoroughly under cold running water and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, or set your oven to broil if grilling is not an option.
If using a grill, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking, and place the corn directly on the grates. If using a broiler, lay the corn on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
Grill or broil the corn, turning occasionally, until evenly charred and cooked through, about 10-15 minutes.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the ghee. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the salt and black pepper.
Using a pastry brush, coat each ear of corn generously with the melted ghee mixture.
Sprinkle the corn with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of flavor and color.
Serve immediately while hot, enjoying your flavorful and Whole30-compliant corn on the cob.
