Can I make this corn on the cob recipe without a grill?

Absolutely! You can roast it in the oven at 400u00b0F (200u00b0C) for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway, or even boil or steam it, then toss with the herb butter. For boiling, cook husked corn in lightly salted boiling water for 5-7 minutes. For steaming, place in a steamer basket over boiling water for 7-10 minutes. Finish by coating with the herb butter. These methods also result in delicious corn on the cob recipes.

What's the best way to choose fresh corn on the cob?

Look for ears with bright green, tightly wrapped husks. The silk should be damp, plump, and golden or light brown, not black or dry. Feel for firm, plump kernels through the husk; avoid ears with soft spots or missing kernels. The fresher the corn, the better these corn on the cob recipes will taste.

Can I prepare the herb butter in advance?

Yes, the garlic herb butter can be made several days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Just remember to let it soften at room temperature for about 30 minutes before spreading it on the corn. This makes preparing these corn on the cob recipes even quicker!

How can I store leftover grilled corn?

If you have any leftover corn on the cob recipes, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. You can reheat them gently on the grill, in a pan, or even remove the kernels from the cob to add to salads, salsas, or stir-fries.

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F / 200°C).
Step 2: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chives, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. This is your flavorful herb butter for your corn on the cob recipes.
Step 3: Carefully spread the herb butter evenly over each ear of husked corn. Ensure all sides are coated for maximum flavor.
Step 4: Place the buttered corn directly on the preheated grill grates. Grill for 12-15 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes, until the kernels are tender and lightly charred in spots. For extra tender corn, you can first par-boil the corn for 5 minutes before grilling, then coat with butter and grill.
Step 5: Once cooked, remove the corn from the grill. You can add an extra dollop of herb butter if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious corn on the cob recipes!

Notes

For an even richer flavor, you can wrap the buttered corn in aluminum foil before grilling. This steaming method helps infuse the butter deeper into the kernels and prevents charring if preferred. Remember to turn the foil packets frequently.
