Ingredients
  

For the corn
  • 4 ears Fresh corn on the cob Make sure to choose fresh ears for the best flavor.
For the toppings
  • 1/2 cup Butter Softened for easy spreading.
  • Salt To taste.
  • Pepper To taste.
  • Lime Optional, for drizzling.
  • Parmesan cheese Optional, for extra flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by husking the corn. Remove the green leaves and silky threads to reveal the golden kernels. Rinse them under cool water to remove any dirt or residue.
  2. Fire up your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F to 450°F, to ensure lovely grill marks.
Grilling
  1. Place the corn directly on the grill grate and grill for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the kernels are tender and nicely charred.
Serving
  1. Remove the corn from the grill and let it cool slightly. Slather each ear with softened butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  2. For an extra flavor kick, squeeze lime juice over the top or add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
  3. Grab some napkins and enjoy!

Notes

If you have leftovers, store grilled corn in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze in foil or freezer bags for up to 3 months. Reheat on the grill or in a skillet for the best results.
