Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 4 ears of corn, shucked
  • Unsalted butter, for serving
  • Kosher salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Grill: Prepare a grill for high heat and preheat it for about 5 minutes, or alternatively, heat a grill pan over high heat until hot.
  2. Grill Corn: Place the shucked ears of corn on the grill and turn them frequently to ensure they get evenly charred on all sides, which takes about 10 minutes. This step adds a smoky flavor and attractive grill marks.
  3. Serve: Once grilled, spread unsalted butter generously over the warm corn and sprinkle kosher salt to taste before serving.

Notes

  • Use fresh corn for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you prefer less char, reduce grilling time slightly but ensure the corn is cooked through.
  • Adding a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper or herbs like chopped cilantro can enhance the flavor.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute butter with olive oil or a vegan spread.
