This crazy delicious Smoky Parmesan Corn on the Cob is the ultimate summertime BBQ recipe. It's a super easy to make and healthy side dish that everyone will love!

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!:)”

This parmesan corn is also super versatile. 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 smoky and delicious. I've cooked them over a campfire and …. you get where this is going. They're amazing every way you cook 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. Bonus!

I am absolutely in love with the way the parmesan cheese and butter melt together and wrap themselves around the corn. Honestly, it's almost too much to be true.

Salty parmesan cheese and sweet corn are a match made in heaven. I know that's a cheesy saying (pun totally intended!) but it's true. These babies are DELICIOUS!

Your parmesan corn on the cob game plan:

♡ Mix some parmesan cheese, paprika, and salt into softened butter. Rub that buttery deliciousness all over the corn.

♡ Bake, broil, or BBQ (your choice!) the corn until it is tender and the cheese winds its way into the little cracks between the corn kernels. See the pic below? That's what it's going to look like when it comes out of the oven. ?

♡ Eat! This is the best step. Roll up your sleeves and dig in.
