How To Prepare The Grilled Corn Recipe

So this is another easy recipe, almost all of which you should have in the house already. Start out by picking up some fresh corn at a local farmer’s market or the grocery store. I will grab an extra one or two pieces of corn because sometimes until you remove the corn husks, you will not know if the corn is all usable. Sometimes the kernels don’t grow and you end up with half an ear of corn.

Before we tackle the ingredients, let’s start by removing the husk off the corn. Some recipes call for grilling the corn in the husk, we are simply pulling it off and discarding it. After husking the corn, start the grill and get it to a temperature of 400°. I did this recipe on my Weber gas grill. While the grill is getting to temperature, we already have the corn husked and we can now prep the corn.

Using either melted butter or some style of a spray butter, coat the corn cobs, generously with butter. i usually melt some butter and brush it on. After having coated the corn with the butter, sprinkle on some salt, pepper, garlic powder and grated parmesan cheese. Ensure to rotate the cobs to cover with the salt, pepper, garlic and cheese.

If using butter is an issue, substituting with some olive oil is also a viable option, I have used that several times and it definitely works well. We are esswentailly using the butter or olive oil as a binder to keep the other ingredients on the corn.

Cooking Corn On The Grill

By now the grill should be up to temperature and the corn ready to place on the grill. Grilling corn on the cob is incredibly easy and we are going to go by look, since we are not checking any kind of IT. We are going to be grilling corn on the cob over direct heat. Once the corn is on, close the lid and let it ride. Check every 10-15 minutes and rotate the corn. You will see the corn kernels started to brown a little bit, even char a touch. That is ok, unless you really do not like it that way. Cooking corn this way is about a 40 minutes cook time.

When you have achieved the desired doneness, you can remove the corn. If you pull the corn to early, the kernels will be hard and not nearly as enjoyable.
