Grilled Corn (Smoky, Buttery & 15 Minutes)

Grilled corn is summer on a plate. Sweet, smoky, buttery, and kissed with char. Fifteen minutes. Grill optional (stovetop works too). The perfect side for burgers, BBQ, or just because.

You’ll never boil corn again.

Serves 4.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1

Preheat the Grill

Preheat grill to medium-high heat (400-450°F).

2

Grill the Corn

Place corn directly on the grill grates.

Grill for 10-15 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes, until charred in spots and tender.

3

Make Garlic Butter

In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic, salt, and pepper.

4

Butter & Serve

Remove corn from grill. Brush generously with garlic butter.

Add any optional toppings. Serve hot.

Stovetop Method:

Heat a dry cast-iron skillet over high heat. Cook corn, turning frequently, until charred on all sides, about 10-12 minutes.
