Parmesan Corn on the Cob with Smoky Garlic Parmesan Butter
Smoky parmesan corn on the cob is the ultimate summer recipe. The corn is coated in a garlicky parmesan butter, then grilled (or roasted) until deliciously smoky perfection. It's a super easy to make side dish that everyone loves!
Ingredients
- ½ cup finely grated parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 4 ears corn, shucked and broken in half - see notes
- Grated parmesan cheese and green onions for garnish, optional
Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, mix the parmesan, butter, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and salt.½ cup finely grated parmesan cheese, ¼ cup butter, 1 tablespoon smoked paprika, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon sea salt

- Baked Corn on the Cob: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the parmesan buttered corn on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes - do not turn the corn. For corn with a few char marks, broil during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
- BBQ Corn on the Cob: Preheat your grill on high heat. Either wrap the parmesan buttered corn in foil or (preferably) use a grill mat. BBQ for 10-12 minutes, turning a few times until the corn is cooked through and has several char marks.
Notes
I like to break the corn cobs in half as they are easier to eat (and easier to go back for seconds if you want a little more corn). Simply grab both ends and snap the cob; it will break fairly easily. You can also make this recipe and leave the cobs whole.
