Ingredients
- Sweet Corn
- Butter
- Salt
- Seasonings (optional: chili powder, paprika, parmesan cheese)
Instructions
- Start by shucking the corn. Remove the husks and silk, then give the cobs a rinse under cold water to remove any remaining silk.
- If you want to add an extra layer of flavor and prevent burning, soak the corn in water for about 10-15 minutes before grilling. This step is optional but can enhance the moisture content.
- Heat your grill to medium-high. If using a charcoal grill, let the coals burn until they are covered with white ash.
- Place the corn directly on the grill grates. Grill for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the corn is charred and tender. You’ll know it’s ready when you see nice grill marks and the kernels have a slight pop.
- Once the corn is off the grill, slather it with butter while it’s still hot. Sprinkle with salt and any additional seasonings you desire.
- Enjoy your Charred Corn On The Cob immediately while it’s warm and fresh off the grill!
