Ingredients

Corn

  • 4 ears fresh corn on the cob

Herb Butter

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Additional

  • Olive oil for brushing

Instructions

  1. Preheat grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat around 400°F (200°C) to prepare for cooking the corn evenly and achieving a nice char.
  2. Prepare corn: Husk the corn by removing the outer green leaves and silk strands completely for clean grilling surface.
  3. Mix herb butter: In a bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter with minced garlic, chopped parsley, chives, basil, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and smooth.
  4. Brush corn with oil: Lightly brush each ear of corn with olive oil to enhance flavor and prevent sticking to the grill grates.
  5. Grill corn: Place the corn directly over medium heat and grill for 10 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally to cook evenly on all sides, until the kernels are tender and slightly charred.
  6. Apply herb butter and serve: Once the corn is hot off the grill, immediately spread the prepared herb butter generously over each ear. Serve warm and enjoy the savory, melting herb butter paired with smoky grilled corn.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, soak the corn in water for 15 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
  • You can substitute fresh herbs with dried herbs if fresh are unavailable, but reduce quantity as dried herbs are more concentrated.
  • Serve with additional lemon wedges for a bright citrusy twist.
  • Grilled corn can be prepared ahead and reheated gently on the grill or stovetop.
