Grilled Sweet Corn: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe You Need to Try


  • Author: Lauren Baker
  • Total Time: 2 minute

Ingredients

– 4 ears of fresh sweet corn, husked
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (optional)
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (e.g., cilantro, parsley, or chives) for garnish (optional)
– Lime wedges for serving (optional)


Instructions

Making grilled sweet corn is straightforward. Follow these steps for perfect results:

1. Preheat the Grill: Start by preheating your grill to medium-high heat.
2. Husk the Corn: Remove the husks and silk from each ear of corn. Rinse them under cold water to remove any remaining silk.
3. Soak the Corn (Optional): To prevent the corn from drying out, you can soak the ears in water for about 10 minutes before grilling. This step is optional but can enhance moisture.
4. Season the Corn: If desired, brush the corn with melted butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper. This adds flavor and helps achieve a beautiful char.
5. Grill the Corn: Place the corn directly on the grill grates. Grill for about 15-20 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes for even cooking. The corn is ready when it’s tender and has char marks.
6. Remove from Grill: Once done, carefully remove the corn from the grill using tongs.
7. Add Toppings: If desired, top with additional butter and sprinkle with fresh herbs. Serve with lime wedges for a zesty kick.

These steps will guide you in creating perfectly grilled sweet corn that will impress everyone at your table.
