Grilled Corn with Lemon Herb Butter
Fresh corn on the cobs get kissed by the grill, then slathered in a lemon herb butter! This recipe is super simple but BIG on flavor.
Equipment
- grill
Ingredients
- 4 corn cobs, shucked
- olive oil for coating the corn
Lemon herb butter:
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- 1 teaspoon minced cilantro
- 1 teaspoon minced basil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- ½ lemon, zested
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, cilantro, basil, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, and kosher salt. Use a spoon or fork to smash the ingredients until incorporated. Set aside.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high, about 400 degrees.
- Shuck the corn cobs and remove the silk. Rub a bit of olive oil onto each cob so the entire cob is coated.
- Use large tongs to place the corn cobs onto the hot grill. Cook the corn for 10 to 15 minutes, turning the corn occasionally. The longer you leave the corn in one spot, the more caramelization you achieve. Keep the grill closed in between turning it, if possible.
- Remove the corn from the grill. Slather butter onto each corn cob and add a sprinkle of salt. Enjoy while still warm.
