Grilled Corn On The Cob
This juicy Grilled Corn On The Cob is smoky, sweet, and ready in minutes. Grill it with or without the husk for the perfect summer side dish.
Ingredients
Corn Ingredients
- 4 ears fresh corn husks on or removed
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or olive oil for brushing
- salt and pepper to taste
- optional toppings like cotija cheese, lime, cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (375°F to 450°F). Clean and lightly oil the grill grates if needed.
- For corn with husks: Peel back the husks, remove the silk, and fold the husks back over the corn. Soak in water for 10 minutes if desired to prevent burning.
- For corn without husks: Remove the husks completely for charred, smoky flavor, or wrap the corn in foil for gentle cooking.
- Place the corn on the grill. Grill for 15 to 20 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes, until tender with charred edges and visible grill marks.
- Remove from the grill, brush with melted butter or oil, season with salt and pepper, and add optional toppings like cotija cheese or lime. Serve warm.
Notes
Grilling with husks gives steamed, tender results, while grilling without husks creates a smokier, charred flavor. Try both to find your favorite method.
