Ingredients
- Fresh corn on the cob (4 ears)
- Unsalted butter (1/2 cup, melted)
- Minced garlic (2 tablespoons)
- Grated Parmesan cheese (1/2 cup)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Chopped parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Start by preheating your grill to medium-high heat.
- Husk the corn and remove all the silk from the cob, then rinse in cold water.
- In a small bowl, mix melted butter with minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over each ear of corn.
- Place the corn directly on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until the kernels are tender and slightly charred.
- Remove the corn from the grill and immediately sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
- Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
For a spicy twist, add chili powder or crushed red pepper flakes to the garlic butter. Soaking the corn in water for 30 minutes before grilling helps keep it juicy.
