Corn On The Cob On Traeger Grill
Summer is here, and what better way to enjoy it than with some fresh and delicious corn on the cob? Grilling corn on the cob is a popular summer pastime, and using a Traeger grill can take your corn to the next level. Traeger grills offer unparalleled flavor and versatility, making them a great choice for cooking corn on the cob. In this article, we'll take you through the steps of grilling corn on the cob on a Traeger grill.
Choosing the Right Corn
The first step to making delicious corn on the cob on a Traeger grill is choosing the right corn. Look for fresh, firm ears of corn with tight, green husks. The kernels should be plump and tightly packed. Avoid corn with brown or dry spots, as this can indicate that the corn is past its prime.
Preparing the Corn
Once you've chosen your corn, it's time to prepare it for the grill. Begin by peeling back the husks, but do not remove them completely. Remove as much silk as possible from the corn. Rinse the corn under cold running water to remove any remaining silk. Pat the corn dry with a paper towel.
Seasoning the Corn
Before grilling, you'll want to season your corn. Brush the corn with melted butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper. You can also experiment with other seasonings, such as garlic powder, paprika, or chili powder, to add more flavor to your corn.
Grilling the Corn
Now it's time to grill the corn. Preheat your Traeger grill to 400°F. Once the grill is hot, place the corn on the grill grates, still wrapped in their husks. Close the lid and let the corn cook for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally. The husks will become charred and the kernels will be tender and juicy.
Serving the Corn
When the corn is done, carefully remove the husks and serve immediately. You can serve the corn as is, or spread it with butter and sprinkle with additional seasonings if desired. For a fun and festive twist, try serving the corn on skewers or in small bowls.
Cleaning the Grill
After grilling, it's important to properly clean your Traeger grill. Once the grill has cooled, remove the grates and scrub them with a grill brush or sponge. Wipe down the interior of the grill with a damp cloth or sponge. Empty the ash from the grill and dispose of it properly.
Now that you know how to grill corn on the cob on a Traeger grill, it's time to fire up the grill and get cooking. Whether you're hosting a summer barbecue or enjoying a quiet evening at home, this delicious and easy recipe is sure to be a hit. So grab some fresh corn, fire up your Traeger grill, and enjoy the taste of summer!
