A quick and easy grilled corn on the cob recipe featuring a smoky chipotle parmesan butter coating, perfect for summer BBQs and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ears fresh corn on the cob, husked
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle powder (adjust to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • Salt to taste (preferably kosher or sea salt)
  • Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
  • Chopped fresh cilantro or parsley (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F / 190°C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine softened unsalted butter, grated Parmesan, chipotle powder, garlic powder, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth and evenly blended. Set aside.
  3. Remove the outer green husks and silk threads from each ear of corn. Pat the corn dry with a towel.
  4. Place the corn directly on the grill grates. Turn every 2-3 minutes to get an even char all around. Grill for about 12-15 minutes until kernels are tender with light blackened spots.
  5. Remove the corn from the grill and immediately brush each ear generously with the prepared chipotle parmesan butter. The warmth will melt the butter, creating a rich coating.
  6. Optionally sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro or parsley for color and freshness. Serve warm with lime wedges on the side.

Notes

If the grill runs hot and corn chars too fast, move to indirect heat or lower temperature. Turn corn often to avoid burning. Freshly grate Parmesan for best melting. Butter mixture can be made a day ahead and refrigerated. For dairy-free, use vegan butter and nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan. Oven roasting at 425°F for 20-25 minutes is a good alternative if no grill is available.
