A quick and easy grilled corn on the cob recipe featuring a sweet and savory honey garlic butter glaze topped with Parmesan cheese for a flavorful summer side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ears fresh corn on the cob, husked
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Husk the corn completely, removing all silk strands. Rinse under cold water and pat dry. (About 5 minutes)
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter, honey, and minced garlic. Stir well until fully incorporated to make the basting sauce. (3 minutes)
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Clean and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking. (10 minutes)
  4. Place the corn directly on the grill grates. Cook for 10-12 minutes total, turning every 2-3 minutes for even char and to avoid burning. Brush the honey garlic butter generously over the corn after the first turn and again halfway through grilling. (12 minutes)
  5. Once the corn is tender and nicely charred, transfer to a plate. Immediately sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese so it melts slightly from the residual heat. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. (2 minutes)
  6. Finish with a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley for color and fresh flavor. Serve hot and enjoy! (1 minute)

Notes

If garlic bits brown too quickly, mix them into the butter and honey and apply after the corn has developed char to avoid bitterness. Use medium-high heat to prevent burning the glaze. You can prepare the honey garlic butter up to a day ahead and store in the fridge. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and Parmesan with nutritional yeast. Frozen corn can be used but fresh is best.
