Grilled Corn on the Cob

Indulging in the taste and aroma of freshly grilled corn on the cob is truly a summertime pleasure like no other.

The natural sweetness makes it an absolute delight to enjoy on its own, but it also pairs exceptionally well with your favorite grilled foods, such as the mouthwatering Grilled Balsamic Marinated Steak.

In this recipe, the corn is covered with butter flavored with fresh herbs, garlic, chili, and parmesan cheese.

To ensure the corn retains its flavors and avoids excessive charring, grilling it in foil is a game-changer.

This method not only locks in the seasonings but also helps create a steamy environment that enhances the corn’s tenderness.

The added bonus of cooking in foil is the hassle-free cleanup, as it keeps everything contained in one package.

So, fire up the grill, marinate that steak to perfection, and while it cooks, prepare the corn on the cob in foil for an irresistible side dish.

The harmonious combination of flavors, textures, and ease of preparation guarantees a memorable and stress-free summer grilling experience.

Recipes on The Purple Pumpkin Blog use cups and/or weighted measurements.

I try to give American US customary, imperial, and metric measurements in my recipes. Please note, that you can mix cup measurements with weighted measures, but never mix US customary/imperial (pounds, ounces, pints, etc.,) with metric (kilograms, grams, liters, etc.,).
