Cooking Sweet Corn On The Grill

Grilled Sweet Corn Recipe

This simple grilled sweet corn recipe is all you need to enjoy the natural flavor of fresh corn on the cob. It doesn't add seasonings other than salt and pepper so you can really appreciate the true flavor of the corn.

4 tablespoons butter, softened - may have to use up to 6 tablespoons
6 ears of sweet corn
Salt and pepper to taste

Container:Aluminum foil

Husk the corn and remove all the silk; rinse with cold water and pat dry with a paper towel.
Tear off 6 pieces of aluminum foil large enough to wrap each ear individually.
Spread 3/4 to 1 tablespoon of softened butter on each ear of sweet corn. Lay each of the buttered corn on a sheet of foil; salt and pepper to taste.
Wrap each of the ears individually in foil, securely wrapping both ends.
Place on the grill over medium heat. Grill for approximately 30 minutes, turning several times as they cook.
Unwrap an ear to check for doneness. If they are done the kernels of corn should not have a milky appearance and they should be slightly browned or charred in some areas. If not done, rewrap the ear and place back on the grill to cook for an additional 5 or 10 minutes; then check again for doneness.

"I told my wife I wanted to try grilling some sweet corn but I didn't want all that fancy stuff added to it. I found this recipe, which was just what I was looking for. It told me how to fix it and how long to grill it using just butter, salt, and a little pepper. Just the way I like it. Turned out great!"
