Ingredients
4 ears fresh corn, husked and silk removed
4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
3 cloves garlic, minced finely
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Whisk the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until fully incorporated.
Clean the exterior of your corn, ensuring all silk strands are completely removed.
Place the ears of corn directly on the grill grates over the flame.
Rotate the corn every three minutes to ensure even browning and charring on all sides.
Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the corn after the first turn and continue basting during each rotation.
Remove the corn from the grill once the kernels turn a bright yellow and display consistent char marks.
Notes
Use fresh, local corn whenever possible for the highest natural sweetness. Keep the corn over direct heat to ensure deep char marks, but keep an eye on them to prevent burning the delicate tips of the kernels.
