Description
A luxurious side dish featuring charred corn slathered in a rich, garlicky parmesan butter sauce. This easy recipe transforms simple ingredients into an addictive, crowd-pleasing meal perfect for grilling or roasting.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4–6 ears fresh corn on the cob
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4–5 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 2–3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2–3 green onions, finely chopped
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Shuck the corn, removing husks and silks. Rinse under cold water and pat completely dry with paper towels.
- In a medium bowl, combine softened butter, minced garlic, grated parmesan, heavy cream, green onions, salt, and pepper. Mix until a thick, cohesive paste forms.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat or oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place corn directly on grill grates or on a baking sheet. Cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until kernels are tender and charred.
- Remove corn from heat and immediately slather the garlic parmesan butter mixture over the hot corn, ensuring even coverage.
- Garnish with remaining green onions or red pepper flakes and serve immediately.
Notes
Ensure corn is completely dry before cooking to allow for proper charring rather than steaming. Use freshly grated parmesan for better melting. If the butter mixture is too thick, add more cream; if too thin, add more cheese. Serve immediately while hot for the best texture.
