¼ cup unsalted butter, melted 🧈
3 cloves garlic, minced πŸ§„
½ teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon chili powder (optional, for heat) πŸ”₯
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped 🌿
Salt and pepper, to taste
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese πŸ§€
Juice of ½ a lemon (optional, for brightness) πŸ‹
Instructions:
1. Preheat & Prepare the Garlic Butter:
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or set your oven to 400°F (200°C) if roasting.
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
2. Brush & Cook the Corn:
🌽 Grilling Method:
Brush the garlic butter mixture evenly over each ear of corn.
Place corn directly on the grill grates, turning every 2–3 minutes until charred and tender (about 10–12 minutes).
πŸ”₯ Oven-Roasting Method:
Brush the garlic butter evenly over the corn and wrap each ear in foil.
Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes, turning halfway through.
For a smoky charred effect, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end.
3. Add the Cheesy Finish:
Sprinkle the hot corn with grated Parmesan cheese while it's still warm, so it melts slightly.
Garnish with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice for extra flavor.
4. Serve & Enjoy!
Serve hot with extra butter and cheese on the side! Pair it with grilled meats, burgers, or a fresh summer salad.
Tips for Success:
Extra Cheesy? Add a sprinkle of mozzarella or cotija cheese along with Parmesan.
Spicy Kick? Drizzle with hot honey or sprinkle with Tajín for a spicy-sweet twist! 🌢️
No Grill? Try using a cast-iron skillet to pan-sear the corn for a smoky flavor.
