Corn on the cob is one of the most popular summer treats. Nothing beats the sweet taste of freshly grilled corn, especially when it's cooked on a Big Green Egg. The Big Green Egg is a ceramic charcoal cooker that's perfect for cooking corn on the cob. In this article, we'll show you how to cook corn on the cob on the Big Green Egg to perfection.
What You'll Need
Before you start cooking, you'll need a few things. Here's what you'll need:
- 4 ears of fresh corn on the cob, husks removed
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Aluminum foil
Preparing The Corn
The first step in cooking corn on the Big Green Egg is to prepare the corn. Start by removing the husks and silk from the ears of corn. Once the corn is cleaned, cut off the ends so that each ear is the same length. Brush each ear of corn with melted butter and season with salt and pepper to taste. Wrap each ear of corn individually in aluminum foil.
Cooking The Corn
Once the corn has been prepared, it's time to cook it on the Big Green Egg. Preheat your Big Green Egg to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Once it's up to temperature, place the wrapped ears of corn onto the grill grates. Close the lid and let the corn cook for about 20 to 25 minutes, turning every 5 minutes for even cooking.
After 20 to 25 minutes, remove the corn from the grill and carefully unwrap it from the foil. The corn should be cooked to a perfect tender texture, and the flavor should be enhanced by the smoky flavor from the Big Green Egg.
Serving The Corn
Once the corn is cooked, it's time to serve it. You can serve the corn as-is, or you can add a few extra toppings to make it even more delicious. Here are a few ideas:
- Top each ear of corn with a sprinkle of chili powder and a squeeze of lime juice for a Mexican twist.
- Brush each ear of corn with BBQ sauce and sprinkle with chopped cilantro for a BBQ-inspired flavor.
- Sprinkle each ear of corn with grated parmesan cheese and chopped parsley for an Italian flavor.
