Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 ears of corn, husked
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons (30 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Finishing Ingredients:
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare grill to medium-high temperature around 400°F, ensuring even heat distribution.
- Generously coat each corn ear with melted butter, thoroughly seasoning with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper for robust flavor profiles.
- Carefully position corn ears directly on grill grates, arranging to prevent direct flame contact.
- Rotate corn every 3-4 minutes, allowing uniform charring and preventing burning, cooking for total 10-12 minutes until kernels appear golden and slightly caramelized.
- Meanwhile, craft complementary topping by whisking minced garlic, finely grated Parmesan cheese, and freshly chopped parsley into cohesive mixture.
- Extract grilled corn from heat, immediately brushing with prepared garlic butter blend to enhance moisture and flavor intensity.
- Complete dish by generously sprinkling additional Parmesan cheese and decorative parsley garnish, ensuring even coverage across corn surfaces.
- Serve hot, presenting corn ears with elegant presentation that showcases delectable grilled exterior and rich, herbaceous seasoning.
Notes
- Char corn evenly by rotating frequently during grilling to prevent burning and ensure perfect caramelization.
- Swap butter with olive oil for a lighter version, making the recipe suitable for health-conscious individuals.
- Experiment with different cheese variations like pecorino or aged cheddar to create unique flavor profiles.
- Use fresh garlic instead of powder for a more intense, robust taste that elevates the overall dish’s complexity.
