Ingredients

  • 4 ears fresh corn
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • Sal and black pepper
  • 1 tsp freshly chopped parsley

Instructions

Prepare the Grill

  • If you need to clean the grates, use a steel grill brush to do so. Dip a wad of paper towel into cooking oil and then wipe the grates. This step is important to prevent the corn from sticking to the grates. Turn all burners on medium-high, cover, and heat the grill until it reaches 450 degrees F.

Grilling Corn in the Husk

  • Place the corn in a large pot or bucket or container and cover the corn with water. Let the corn soak in water for about 15-20 minutes. Remove the corn from the water and shake the water off of the corn husk.
  • Place the corn over direct heat for 20-25 minutes. Don't forget to turn the corn every five minutes.
  • Remove the corn from the grill. Let it cold down for 2 minutes. Carefully remove the husk.
  • Spread butter on the corn and season with salt and pepper.

Grilling Corn without the Husk

  • Remove all the husks and silks from the corn.
  • Place corns on preheated grill and cook them for 15 minutes or until they are bright yellow.
  • Remove the corns from the grill and place them on a plate.
  • Spread garlic over corn, season with salt and pepper and sprinkle some chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • The nutrition information is for 1 corn on the cob and 1/5 teaspoon of butter. 
  • If you do not have parsley, you can use cilantro or basil. 
  • To store: Store leftover grilled corn wrapped in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • To reheat: You can gently microwave the corn or eat it chilled.
  • To freeze: Tightly wrap in plastic and then transfer it to a freezer-safe bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
