Ingredients
– 4 ears of fresh corn, husked
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (or vegan butter)
– Salt, to taste
– Black pepper, to taste
– Optional seasonings (e.g., chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, parmesan cheese)
– Fresh herbs (e.g., cilantro or parsley for garnish)
Instructions
Creating grilled corn on the cob is straightforward. Just follow these simple steps:
1. Husk the Corn: Remove the husks and silk from the corn. Rinse under cold water to clean.
2. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).
3. Prepare the Corn: If you want, soak the corn in cold water for 10-15 minutes. This can help prevent the kernels from burning, but it’s optional.
4. Add the Butter: Brush the ears of corn with melted butter. Make sure it’s evenly distributed for maximum flavor.
5. Season the Corn: Sprinkle salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings on the corn before placing it on the grill.
6. Grill the Corn: Place the corn on the grill. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning every few minutes to ensure even grilling.
7. Check for Doneness: The corn is done when it’s tender and has grill marks. It should feel soft when pierced with a knife.
8. Rest the Corn: Remove corn from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the steam to escape and enhances the flavor.
9. Garnish and Serve: Top with additional butter and herbs if desired. Serve warm.
