Yummy Grilled Sweet Corn on the Cob
We were so happy to see our old Sweet Corn Stand out in the country had opened up again! We were even more excited to pick how we were going to cook it!
We decided to toss it on the grill and I thought I'd share how we did it!
Ingredients:
Sweet Corn
Butter
Salt
Pepper
Additional Stuff:
Aluminium Foil
Grill
Tongs
Tray
- Gently pull the husk down from the ear of corn exposing the corn silk.
- Remove all of the corn silk from each ear of corn.
- Once you finish removing the corn silk from each ear of corn, you can prepare the corn for grilling by adding additional seasoning if desired.
- We chose to taking a stick of butter and run it up and down the ear of corn and sprinkles lightly with a bit of salt and pepper.
- Once you have seasoned the ear of corn to your liking, gently pull the corn husks back up one by one sealing the entire ear of corn with its original husks.
- Wrap each sweet corn with aluminium from top to bottom the best you can.
- We cooked ours on our gas grill on medium heat for 40 minutes.
- You will want to use tongs to handle the corn and while your checking to see if it is done.
- A good way to see if the corn is done beyond visual is by taking something pointy and poking at the kernels . If they give little to no resistance then they are done. You will also notice the more you cook them the more aromatic they will become.
- When they are done and cooled off, remove the extra husks serve and enjoy!
Possible seasoning ideas are (but definitely not limited too):
- Spread a mix of butter, minced garlic and salt on the corn before grilling then wrap and grill as described above.
- Spread a mix of Cilantro, mayo or butter, Lime juice, and chili powder on the corn before grilling then wrap and grill as described above.
- Spread basil pesto mix on the corn before grilling then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese before serving
