Grilled Corn On The Cob
Description
Grilled Corn On The Cob can be cooked directly on a preheated medium-high grill, either with the husks removed and the corn lightly brushed with oil, or with the husks left on to protect the kernels during grilling. When grilled husk-off, rotating the corn every few minutes ensures even char marks and a smoky flavor. The husk-on method steams the corn inside the charred husk, resulting in tender kernels with a milder grilled taste. Both versions are finished by topping with butter and seasoning with salt and black pepper.
The combination of direct heat and rotation allows caramelization on the surface while locking in moisture, and the optional butter enriches the flavor. This preparation suits casual meals, cookouts, or side dishes where fresh sweet corn texture is desired.
Rotating the corn consistently during grilling helps prevent burning and promotes even cooking. For husk-on grilling, let the corn cool enough to safely peel before serving to avoid steam burns and to retain moisture.
Ingredients
- 4 corn ears
- avocado oil to brush the corn if grilling without the husk; optional
- butter optional, for topping
- salt
- black pepper
Instructions
Without The Husk
- Remove the husks and silks from each corn. Lightly brush the naked corn with avocado oil or another neutral, high-heat oil.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the corn directly on the grill, close the lid, and cook for 10 minutes, rotating every few minutes for an even char.
- Using tongs, remove the corn from the grill and transfer to a plate. Top with a pat of butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper before serving.
With The Husk
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place your corn on the grill, close the lid, and cook for 15 minutes, while rotating every few minutes. The husk will become blackened.
- Using tongs, remove the corn from the grill and transfer to a plate. Let it cool to the touch before removing the husks and silks.
- Top the corn with a pat of butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper before serving.
