Ingredients
  

For the Garlic Parmesan Butter
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter softened
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper freshly ground
For the Corn
  • 6 ears Corn on the Cob husks pulled back

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 375°F / 190°C) or preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) if roasting.
  2. Prepare the Garlic Parmesan Butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until well incorporated.
  3. If grilling: Lightly brush the corn cobs directly with a thin layer of the butter mixture. Place the corn directly on the grill grates. Grill for 12-15 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes, until the kernels are tender and lightly charred.
  4. If roasting: Place the corn on the cob on a baking sheet. Brush generously on all sides with the prepared butter mixture. Bake for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through, until cooked through.
  5. For maximum flavor: During the last 5 minutes of cooking (either grilling or roasting), brush the corn with the remaining butter mixture for a thick, slightly caramelized coating.
  6. Remove from heat, sprinkle with extra Parmesan and parsley if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

For grilling, you can soak the husks in water for 30 minutes prior to grilling to prevent burning. If using shucked corn, simply brush on the butter during the last 5 minutes of cooking for best results.
