This corn could save the world; it’s that good. No seriously, I wouldn’t lie to you. After a Social Summer Dinner at The Endless Meal Supper Club last week the editor of The Daily Secret tweeted, “I have been talking, all day to anybody who will listen, about how good your parmesan corn was last night!:)”
I’ve baked the corn in foil packets in the oven and they were sweet and amazing. I’ve roasted them on high in the oven out of their foil packets and they were extra smokey and delicious. I’ve cooked them over a campfire and …. you get where this is going. They’re amazing every way you make them.
If you are throwing a dinner party cook the corn in foil packets in the oven. They’ll stay warm for at least a half hour after you take them out so you have some leeway while getting everything else organized.
- 4 pieces of corn on the cob, cut in half
- ½ cup finely grated parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- Optional: grated parmesan cheese, green onions or parsley for garnish
- Combine cheese, butter, smoked paprika, garlic powder and sea salt in a small bowl and mix till well combined.
- Using your hands, spread about 1 teaspoon of the butter mixture over each corn half.
- Wrap corn in aluminum foil and bake on a baking sheet in a 420 degree oven for 20 minutes.
- OR: place corn on a baking sheet (not wrapped in foil) and broil for 5 minutes on each side, or until it is nicely browned all over.
- Serve on a large platter and sprinkle with optional garnishes

wow! such a simple recipe, yet so great…
Thanks, Swati!
The corn looks amazing. Looks like a perfect side dish.
Thanks, Vita! It really has turned into one of my favourite side dishes this summer. So easy and so delicious
This turned out amazing. My husband and I couldn’t stop eating it!
So happy you love this corn as much as I did!
Perfect recipe for a beginner like myself to go with our grilled burgers! One question..how do you grill these sexy babies??
Not sure if I need to wrap them. Mouth is watering already lol
Hey Jaz,
You’ll find this recipe really easy to make and it will definitely be a hit. Do wrap them in foil before putting them on the grill.
They can be made (buttered and wrapped) a day before. Keep them in your fridge until you’re ready to grill them.
Enjoy!
Just wanted to let you know I tried this tonight on some fresh corn.. grilled it up; used your recipe, but used chipotle seasoning, instead of paprika.. and added cilantro and a touch of lime juice.. otherwise no change.. partially un-husked the corn, grilled on medium for 12 min (rotated 3 times) and when the cob had been inhaled.. the drippings of chipotle/parmesan/cilantro and garlic were soaked up with a lovely cut of grilled sirloin.. Oh> My< GOODNESS! Fresh flavor! Thank you!!!
