Best Grill Roasted Corn on the Cob

Recipe #173201 | 20 min | add private note

I live in the Midwest and I am convinced that there is NO better way to eat fresh summer sweet corn! The trick is not to soak it! If you soak the corn the result will be steamed and not truly "roasted". The husks may get a little burned but the corn will be perfect. (I know, it was hard for me the first time too, just trust me) P.S. Use the freshest sweet corn you can get!

SERVES 6 -8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 6-8 ears fresh sweet corn, in the husk
  • butter

Directions

  1. 1
    Lay the corn (in the husks) on a hot grill. (medium if using gas).
  2. 2
    Cook for twenty minutes, turning every few minutes.
  3. 3
    Remove from the grill with clean gloves and remove the husks and silk.
  4. 4
    Serve with lots of butter, salt and fresh ground pepper.
  5. 5
    Enjoy!

From grocery bag to grill--so easy! I wanted to rinse them off after removing the husks and was afraid it may cool them down too much but it did not. They held the heat for a good while. And the flavor is so wonderful. I added butter and salt but I think it is probably almost as good without any additions. Thanks so much for this recipe.

    I have been doing this for the last 5 years. What I like about it is no silk left on the corn. Also you don't have to worry about burnt corn. A little brown on the corn adds flavor as long you don't dry it out.

    Great way to do corn! So easy and turned out delicious! The husks did get charred but the corn didn't at all. Thanks for sharing this technique!
