    Grilled corn results not only in perfectly cooked corn but it also gives you some light charring and color- which means more flavor! Chances are you’re already firing the grill up this summer for the usual fare- hotdogs, burgers and the like- so why not throw some ears of corn on as well? It makes for a great snack or side and you can only make it taste better with some extra seasonings.

    Ingredients for Parmesan Grilled Corn

    • Sweet Corn Cobs – Fresh is preferred and turns out the best with this recipe. In a pinch, you could probably use frozen corn on the cob.
    • Butter
    • Minced Garlic
    • Parmesan – You could grate some parmesan yourself but, really, the pre-grated parmesan in a can works perfectly for this recipe.
    • Parsley – For a bit of a color and a bit of herb-y flavor. Fresh or dried works.
    • Salt & Pepper – To taste, obviously.

    How to Grill Corn on the Cob

    Making this delicious grill-out recipe couldn’t be much simpler! Here’s all you have to do:
    1. Mix up some garlic butter and chop your parsley if using fresh.
    2. Grill your corn on the cob until heated through and it has picked up some color and char.
    3. Dress your Grilled Corn on the Cob with homemade garlic butter and parmesan. Season to taste with parsley, salt, and pepper.

    Adding garlic to melted butter

    Before grilling your corn, it helps to get some prep done and out of the way first. To start, you’ll want to mix up some garlic butter- this is as easy as melting butter in the microwave and mixing in some minced garlic. You can also get your parsley chopped now if you’re using fresh. Once everything is prepped, we can get to grilling!

    Fresh corn on the grill

    It helps to either oil your corn cobs or your grill before grilling to minimize sticking. Whatever you oil, make sure you let the grill preheat over medium heat for a few minutes before putting the cobs down. Once hot, put the cobs down and let them cook for up to 15 minutes.

    Make sure to turn your cobs occasionally to evenly cook them- it is worth it to let the sit for a little bit, though, to pick some char and color. Once cooked and charred to your liking, pull your cobs from the grill and hit with garlic butter.

    Of course, we also want to sprinkle some parmesan over everything!

    Adding parmesan cheese to grilled corn

    After dressing your corn, all you need to do is the season to taste with parsley, salt, and pepper.

    With everything, all seasoned and tasty, serve up your corn while it’s still nice, warm, and buttery. Enjoy!

    Bonus: How to make Elote

    If you loved this Parmesan Grilled Corn on the Cob and enjoy Mexican food, you might want to try turning this into elote. This Mexican corn on the cob is dressed in mayo or sour cream and seasoned with chili powder, cilantro, and a cheese called cotija. Our parmesan will work as a substitute and- if you don’t like cilantro- you could still use parsley as well! I’ve heard this stuff is popular fair food which makes it sound like it’d be perfect for a grill out as well.

      I love corn on the cob during the summer. I’ve done the garlic butter but never parmesan. This is definitely happening at our house!
