Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 cobs corn
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- 1 clove garlic finely minced
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon parsley chopped
- Smoked paprika optional for an extra kick
Instructions
- Start by shucking the corn, removing all the husks and silk. Rinse the cobs under cold water to ensure they are clean. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, salt, and chopped parsley. If you're feeling adventurous, add in a pinch of smoked paprika for a hint of smokiness. Mix until well combined.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375°F to 450°F. If you’re using charcoal, make sure the coals are white and ashy.
- Using a brush, generously apply the garlic butter mixture over each cob of corn, ensuring they are fully coated. Reserve a little butter for basting while grilling.
- Place the corn directly on the grill grates. Grill for about 10-15 minutes, turning every few minutes to ensure even cooking. The corn should be tender and have nice char marks.
- During the last few minutes of grilling, baste the corn with the reserved garlic butter for extra flavor. Remove the corn from the grill once it’s beautifully charred and cooked through.
- Serve the grilled corn hot off the grill. You can sprinkle a bit more salt or smoked paprika on top for added flavor if desired!
