Ingredients
Scale
For Grilled Corn on the Cob:
- 6 ears of sweet corn
- Water
- Butter (to taste)
- Seasoning (to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare the Corn: Remove the top two layers of husk from each ear of sweet corn, leaving the rest of the husk on to help steam the corn while grilling.
- Soak the Corn: Place the prepared corn in water and soak for 60 minutes to prevent burning on the grill and allow the husks to steam the corn.
- Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to 450°F for optimal grilling temperature.
- Grill the Corn: Grill the soaked corn for about 20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes to ensure an even char on all sides.
- Remove and Peel: After grilling, remove the corn from the grill and let it cool. Peel the husks off carefully, revealing the perfectly grilled kernels.
- Add Butter and Seasoning: Slather the corn with butter and sprinkle with your favorite seasonings like salt, pepper, garlic powder, or parmesan cheese.
Notes
- Don’t Skip the Soaking: Soaking the corn for 60 minutes helps ensure the kernels cook evenly and prevents the husks from burning.
- Grill Temperature: Ensure your grill is at 450°F for the best results, preventing the corn from burning too quickly.
- Try Different Toppings: Experiment with chili powder, cilantro, or feta cheese for extra flavor.
- Grill Multiple Ears: Grill multiple ears at once for a crowd by arranging them in a single layer, turning them regularly.
