Print Recipe

A quick and easy grilled corn on the cob recipe featuring a delicious garlic Parmesan butter that adds smoky, garlicky, cheesy, and buttery flavors perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ears fresh corn on the cob, husked or with husks pulled back
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced finely
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high, around 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a small bowl, mix the softened unsalted butter with minced garlic, finely grated Parmesan, chopped parsley, smoked paprika (if using), and a pinch of salt and black pepper until well combined.
  3. Husk the corn or pull the husks back without removing them entirely. Remove the silk threads as best as you can. Lightly brush each ear with a little oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Place corn directly on the grill grates. Turn every 2-3 minutes using tongs to get an even char all around, about 10-12 minutes total.
  5. Remove the corn from the grill and while it’s still hot, generously spread the garlic Parmesan butter all over each ear.
  6. Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan or fresh parsley if desired. Optionally sprinkle flaky sea salt.

Notes

Make the garlic Parmesan butter a day in advance for better flavor melding. Use softened butter for easier mixing and melting. Turn corn often to avoid uneven cooking and flare-ups. For a smokier texture, grill with husks pulled back and butter inside, then pull husks back over the corn while grilling. If no grill is available, roast corn in a 425°F oven for 20-25 minutes or use a grill pan on the stove.
