Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer BBQ side dish featuring fresh corn on the cob slathered with a savory garlic parmesan butter. Perfectly grilled for a smoky, cheesy, and flavorful treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ears fresh corn on the cob, husked and cleaned
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced or pressed (roasted beforehand)
  • ½ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese (Parmigiano-Reggiano recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. Husk the corn and remove all silk strands. Rinse under cold water and pat dry (about 5 minutes).
  2. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F / 190°C). Place peeled garlic cloves in foil, drizzle with olive oil, wrap, and grill for 10 minutes, turning occasionally until soft and fragrant. Let cool slightly, then finely mince.
  3. In a small bowl, combine softened butter, roasted garlic, grated parmesan, chopped parsley, lemon zest (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until creamy (about 3 minutes).
  4. Place corn directly on grill grates. Grill for 10-12 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes until kernels are caramelized and have golden brown spots.
  5. Remove corn from grill and immediately brush generously with garlic parmesan butter mixture.
  6. Optionally, sprinkle extra parmesan and parsley on top. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

Roast garlic before mixing to mellow sharpness and add sweetness. Turn corn frequently on grill for even cooking and smoky char. Butter mixture can be prepared ahead and chilled. For vegan version, substitute butter with plant-based butter and parmesan with nutritional yeast.
