Grilled Corn on the Cob
Servings 4 servings
A little smoke and a little char-blackening enhances the sweetness and brings out the true flavor of corn. This traditional grilled corn recipe is served slathered with butter and sprinkled with salt.
Ingredients
- 4 ears of corn
- 1 tablespoon olive oil if direct grilling
- 2 tablespoons butter
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
To Grill Corn in Husks
- Peel back the husks of the corn without detaching them from the bottom of the cob. Remove silk and fold husks back into place to cover the corn.
- Place corn in a sink or large bowl of water to soak for at least 15 minutes (it can soak overnight if needed).
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove corn from the water and shake off excess so it's not dripping. Place cobs on the grill and cook 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally.
- Once corn is cooked to your liking remove from the grill, peel off husks and serve with butter, salt & pepper.
To Direct Grill Corn
- Preheat grill to medium heat.
- Remove husks and silk from corn. Brush each piece with olive oil.
- Place corn directly on the grill and cook 10-15 minutes turning occasionally.
- Remove from grill and serve with butter, salt & pepper to taste.
