Print Recipe

A quick and flavorful summer side dish featuring grilled corn slathered in a fragrant herb butter made with fresh parsley, thyme, and garlic. Perfect for barbecues, picnics, or casual dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ears fresh corn on the cob, husked
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).
  2. In a small mixing bowl, combine softened unsalted butter, parsley, thyme, minced garlic, lemon juice (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix well until evenly incorporated.
  3. Remove the outer husks and silk completely from the corn.
  4. Place the corn directly on the grill grates. Cook for about 10 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes with tongs to ensure even charring.
  5. Transfer the grilled corn to a plate. While still hot, generously spread the herb butter all over each ear.
  6. Serve immediately, optionally sprinkling extra salt and freshly ground pepper on top.

Notes

If you want the herb butter to spread easier, soften it more before grilling but do not melt it completely. Adjust grill heat if corn browns too fast. For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with vegan spread or olive oil. Fresh herbs are preferred for best flavor. Leftover corn can be refrigerated for up to 2 days or frozen after removing kernels.
