Simple Summer Grilled Corn
Nothing says summer quite like fresh corn grilled to sweet, smoky perfection.
recipesbynani.comGrilled corn is a staple in my kitchen all summer long because it is so easy to prepare. It brings out such a lovely sweetness in the kernels that you really do not need much else to make it taste amazing.
You can choose to grill the corn in its husks for a steamed texture or take them off for that nice charred finish. Both ways are delicious, so just pick the method that fits your mood today.
🧺 Ingredients
- 4 ears of fresh corn
- 4 tablespoons salted butter, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
👩🍳Instructions
- 1
If you want to grill with the husks on, peel back the husks to remove the silk, then pull the husks back up around the corn.
- 2
If you prefer a char, remove the husks and silk entirely.
- 3
Preheat your grill to medium high heat.
- 4
Place the corn directly on the grill grates.
- 5
Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally so all sides get cooked evenly.
- 6
Remove the corn from the grill once it is tender and charred to your liking.
- 7
Spread the softened butter over the hot corn and sprinkle with salt and pepper before serving.
💡 Tips
Store any leftover corn by cutting the kernels off the cob and keeping them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. It is wonderful tossed into salads or mixed into a quick salsa the next day.
