Ingredients
4 ears fresh sweet corn, husked and silk removed
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
3 cloves garlic, freshly minced
1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Clean the corn cobs thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels.
Brush each cob lightly with olive oil.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F.
Place corn on the grill grates and rotate every 3 minutes until light char marks appear on all sides.
In a small bowl, combine softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, and salt.
Remove hot corn from the grill and immediately spread the compound butter mixture over each cob before serving.
Notes
Ensure the corn is completely dry before brushing with olive oil to get the best grill marks. You can adjust the garlic intensity by using a microplane for a more even distribution across the kernels.
