Honey Garlic Corn on the Cob Recipe
Description
The Honey Garlic Corn on the Cob Recipe highlights fresh corn grilled until tender with a slight char. The honey-based sauce combines garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and chili flakes to deliver a balanced sweet, salty, and mildly spicy glaze. Cooking the sauce briefly before brushing it on the corn helps develop the flavors and slightly reduce its sharpness. The glaze both bastes and finishes the corn, creating a sticky, glossy coating that enhances the natural sweetness of the corn kernels.
The method involves grilling the corn over medium-high heat and applying the glaze twice—once during the final minute of grilling and again just before serving. This layering ensures the sauce slightly caramelizes on the grill without burning. The garnish of minced cilantro or parsley adds a fresh herbal note and color contrast.
This preparation is suitable as a side dish for summer barbecues or any meal where grilled vegetables are desired. The combination of ingredients gives the corn a blend of Asian-inspired flavors without overpowering the vegetable's natural taste.
Ingredients
- 4 ears corn shucked
- ⅓ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce gluten-free, if needed
- 1 tablespoon ginger finely grated
- 2 large garlic very finely minced, cloves
- ½ teaspoon sesame oil
- ¼ teaspoon chili flakes
- ¼ teaspoon salt sea salt
- cilantro to serve, optional, minced, or parsley
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high and put the corn on the grill. Cook it for 10 minutes, turning halfway through.
- In a small frying pan, bring the honey, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, chili flakes, and sea salt to a boil. Let it boil for 2 minutes then remove it from the heat.
- Brush half the sauce over the corn and let it cook for 1 minute more. Remove the corn from the grill and drizzle with the remaining sauce. Sprinkle with some minced cilantro or parsley.
