Let’s talk about corn—the sweet, juicy kind that’s dripping with butter and loaded with flavor. There’s something about that first bite of perfectly grilled corn that just screams summer.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Corn:
- 4 ears of fresh corn (husks removed)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for grilling or roasting)
For the Garlic Butter:
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
For the Cheesy Topping:
- ½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Corn
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (or preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) if roasting).
- Brush the corn with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Make the Garlic Butter

Step 3: Cook the Corn
Grill Method:
4. Place the corn directly on the grill grates and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until lightly charred.
Oven Method:
5. Place the corn on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Step 4: Add the Flavor
- Brush the hot corn generously with the garlic butter mixture.
- Sprinkle with parmesan and mozzarella (if using).
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!
- Garnish with fresh parsley, serve hot, and devour!
