Description

This Parmesan Garlic Grilled Corn recipe transforms fresh corn on the cob into a flavorful and savory treat with a luscious garlic butter glaze, grated Parmesan cheese, and fresh parsley. Grilled to perfection, the corn is tender with a smoky char, enhanced by the rich and aromatic garlic butter and the nutty Parmesan topping. Perfect as a side dish for summer barbecues or any outdoor meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Produce

  • 4 fresh corn ears
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced or grated
  • Chopped fresh parsley (to taste)

Dairy

  • 4 tablespoons (60 grams) unsalted butter
  • 1 ounce (28 grams) grated Parmesan cheese

Pantry

  • A pinch of salt
  • Black pepper to taste, freshly ground

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to a medium-high temperature between 350-400ËšF to prepare for cooking the corn evenly and developing a smoky flavor.
  2. Prepare the Corn: Peel away most of the husks from the corn, leaving the inner layer intact. Fold the husks back to remove the silk completely, then fold the husks over the corn ears again to protect the kernels during grilling.
  3. Grill the Corn: Place the prepared corn on the preheated grill. Turn the ears occasionally to ensure they cook evenly and develop a vibrant yellow color with light charring over about 15-20 minutes.
  4. Make Garlic Butter: In a small, heat-resistant bowl, melt the unsalted butter in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Stir in the minced garlic along with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to create a flavorful butter mixture.
  5. Finish the Corn: After grilling, remove the remaining husks completely from the corn. While the corn is still hot, brush generously with the garlic butter mixture, then sprinkle evenly with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley for added taste and color.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the Parmesan garlic grilled corn immediately to enjoy its best flavor and warmth as a delicious side dish.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a squeeze of lemon juice over the corn before serving.
  • If you do not have a grill, this recipe can be adapted for a grill pan on the stovetop or roasted in the oven at 400°F for 20-25 minutes.
  • If preferred, substitute Parmesan cheese with Pecorino Romano for a sharper taste.
  • Use fresh garlic rather than garlic powder to maximize the garlic flavor in the butter.
  • Be sure to turn the corn regularly during grilling to avoid uneven cooking or burning.
