Grilled Corn On The Cob In Aluminum Foil
Summer is the perfect time to fire up the grill and enjoy delicious outdoor meals. And what's a better summer treat than grilled corn on the cob? With this easy and foolproof method of wrapping corn in aluminum foil, you can have perfectly cooked and juicy corn every time, without any mess or fuss.
Ingredients
For this recipe, you will need:
- 4 ears of fresh corn on the cob, husked
- 4 tablespoons of butter, softened
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 4 large pieces of aluminum foil, about 12 inches each
Instructions
1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 350°F to 400°F.
2. Season each ear of corn with salt, pepper, and about 1 tablespoon of softened butter. Use your hands to massage the butter and seasoning onto the corn, making sure to evenly coat each ear.
3. Lay each ear of corn onto a piece of aluminum foil, and wrap the foil tightly around the corn. Make sure to tuck the edges of the foil in to prevent the butter from leaking out.
4. Place the wrapped corn on the grill and cook for about 10 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally. You want the corn to be charred and golden brown on the outside and tender on the inside. You can check for doneness by piercing the foil with a fork and feeling the corn for tenderness.
5. Once the corn is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it cool for a few minutes. Be careful when unwrapping the foil, as the steam inside can be very hot.
6. Serve the corn hot, garnished with additional butter or herbs if desired.
Tips
• You can add other seasonings or herbs to the butter mixture, such as garlic, thyme, or paprika, to give the corn more flavor.
• If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the wrapped corn in the oven at 400°F for about 15 to 20 minutes.
• For a fun and creative twist, you can also add other ingredients to the foil packet, such as sliced bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms, to create a grilled vegetable medley.
Conclusion
Grilled corn on the cob in aluminum foil is a delicious and easy summer treat that everyone will love. With just a few simple ingredients and steps, you can have perfectly cooked and juicy corn that is full of flavor and nutrition.
