Ingredients

  • 6 ears of corn, husked
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Brush each ear of corn generously with the garlic butter mixture.
  4. Place the corn directly on the grill grates.
  5. Grill for 10 to 12 minutes, turning every few minutes to ensure even cooking and light charring on all sides.
  6. Continue brushing the corn with the remaining garlic butter while it cooks.
  7. Once the corn is tender and lightly charred, remove it from the grill.
  8. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired.
  9. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.

  • Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice for brightness.
  • Use smoked paprika in the butter mixture to enhance smoky flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
