Ingredients
Scale
Corn
- 4 ears of corn
Garlic Butter Mixture
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
Toppings & Seasoning
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat to ensure the corn cooks evenly and develops a nice char.
- Prepare Garlic Butter: In a bowl, combine the melted butter with the minced garlic, mixing well to infuse the butter with garlic flavor.
- Brush the Corn: Generously brush each ear of corn with the garlic butter mixture, coating all sides thoroughly.
- Grill the Corn: Place the corn on the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally to achieve an even char and cook through.
- Add Cheese and Parsley: Once grilled, remove the corn from heat and immediately sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley to allow the cheese to slightly melt and the herbs to release aroma.
- Season and Serve: Finally, season the corn with salt and pepper to taste and serve warm for a delightful side dish.
Notes
- You can substitute Parmesan cheese with Cotija or Pecorino Romano for a different flavor profile.
- For an extra kick, add a sprinkle of smoked paprika or chili powder before grilling.
- If you don’t have a grill, the corn can be cooked on a grill pan or roasted in the oven at 425°F for about 20 minutes, turning halfway through.
- To make this recipe dairy-free, replace butter with olive oil and omit the Parmesan cheese.
