Scale
Ingredients
- 4 ears corn, shucked
- Unsalted butter, for serving
- Kosher salt, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Grill: Prepare your grill for high heat by preheating it for about 5 minutes. Alternatively, heat a grill pan over high heat if you don’t have an outdoor grill.
- Grill the Corn: Place the shucked ears of corn directly on the grill. Turn them often to ensure that all sides are evenly charred. Continue grilling for approximately 10 minutes until the corn is nicely blackened in spots and cooked through.
- Season and Serve: Remove the corn from the grill while still warm. Spread unsalted butter generously over each ear, then sprinkle with kosher salt to taste. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Sweet and crunchy with a smoky char, this is the easiest and best way to grill corn on the cob, whether shucked or with the husk on.
- Turning the corn often helps achieve an even char and prevents burning.
- For a variation, try adding spices or fresh herbs to the butter before spreading it on the corn.
