Call me a creature of habit {or just a little bit stubborn}, yet I’ve always just boiled corn on the cob. It’s how I’ve always cooked corn on the con, and never considered that it could be cooked differently. After all, it always tasted good so why change it?
Does this sound familiar?
While at the farmers market a couple weekends ago, I bought some fresh corn on the cob. While waiting in line, a couple next to me were talking about grilling the corn they just paid for. As I walked away I started thinking about why I hadn’t tried grilling corn before.
When I got home, I called a couple friends and brought up this ever-pressing issue. Turns out I wasn’t alone – none of them have tried grilling corn on the cob either. Perhaps many of us are stuck in our {culinary} ways somewhat. Well, I vowed to change that!
I headed to the Kraft Canada website {my favourite go-to} and took a look at their corn on the cob recipes. Not only sis they have instructions on how to grill corn on the cob {wrapped in foil or grilled in the husks} but they also had easy recipes to jazz it up a little.
Guess what?
I grilled corn on the cob for the very first time AND it was flavoured, just enough to make you sit back and think, ‘WOW’.
That wasn’t the last time I grilled corn on the cob. I did it again a few days later. Hubby was away at work both times, yet he’s impressed not only that I grilled and didn’t burn the house down {grill-master, I am not} but also that I tried this new way of cooking.
I can’t wait to make grilled corn on the cob many times over the summer months, perhaps for a Canada Day BBQ!
Colour me excited, I overcame my culinary stubbornness and found a new recipe that I love!
Have you ever grilled corn on the cob?
- 4 ears corn on the cob husks and silk removed
- 1/4 cup butter softened
- 2 Tbsp . Kraft 100% Parmesan Grated Cheese
- 1 tsp . chopped fresh parsley
-
Heat barbecue to medium-high heat.
-
Rinse corn under cold water; gently shake off excess water. Wrap ears individually in foil.
-
Grill 15 to 20 min. or until corn is tender, turning occasionally. Meanwhile, mix remaining ingredients until blended.
-
Spread corn with flavoured butter just before serving.

My family and I do this all the time when we go camping. Super easy. No need to wait hours for the water to boil on the little camp stoves.
Yes, I need to try this out camping, I don’t have a very big pot out there to boil them. Plus, it just tastes better to me!
We love grilling corn on the cob. It completely changes the flavor, doesn’t it? Yum!
It sure does!
That looks amazing. Corn on the cob is one of my favorite summer dishes.
Thanks Ellen, and me too. I love the sweet taste!
You’re braver than I but, you make this look simple. I usually leave the BBQ’ing to my Hubs but, I may just try this on my own.
Oh, I am no grill master. I have been trying for years! Now, I can BBQ hot dogs and corn, and everything else is a gamble. lol
Parmesan cheese! Brilliiant! I’m definitely up for testing that out next time the BBQ is going. Thanks for sharing 🙂
It’s sooo good!
I love corn on the cob, especially when it’s grilled. I love that charred, smoky flavor that comes with grilling them.
Mmmm, and now I need to make some tonight!
Yum! I’ve seen a few chicken recipes with Parmesan cheese as a batter and was intrigued. I think this would go perfect with that recipe. I love cheese in case it isn’t obvious 😉 Can’t wait to find some parmesan now!
Mmm, cheese!!!
I have always wanted to try to grill corn on the cobb, I am sure this will be the most amazingly good corn.
It is! I’m so happy I finally tried it!
I totally want to make this for my fourth of July! I’ve never grilled corn before, looks fantastic!
Great idea! I’m making it on Canada Day!
We kind of went through the same thing at our house. I hadn’t grilled corn on the cob before, but my sister-in-law has. I was at her house once when she did. I really loved it. Now I grill corn every time I b-b-q.
Nice!!
We normally boil our corn too, but usually because our grill is packed full with burger and hot dogs! Grilled corn has a great flavor to it though, and it is super fast and easy!
Very true, yet last time we did the corn first and then took it off and cooked everything else. Since it’s wrapped in foil, it kept nice and warm for when dinner was ready!
I love corn grilled!!
We need to make t-shirts. 😉
I love the idea of grilling corn… it sounds like a great idea and sounds amazing… YUMMY! Thanks for sharing
Thanks Shauna!
I absolutely adore grilled corn on the cob! I need to try your version and see if it’s better than what I usually do!
How do you usually make it Amber?
LOVE corn on the cob, perfect for this time of the year – wish I was not on low carb!
Oh no! I used to low-carb it, I always missed corn too!
We LOVE grilled corn on the cob! I’ll have to try your way next time we grill!
You need to, you’ll fall in love!!
Such an easy and delish recipe!
Yes!
I love grilled corn on the cob! We usually cook it right in the husk.
I need to try that next, I hear it’s just as easy.
I love corn on the cob! That recipe sounds good!
Kraft has some great ones on the site, love so many of them!
I so love grilled corn on the cob. I love grilling it in the husk.
Need to try that next!
That sounds so good, I have always just steamed corn.
See? We need to try something new once in a while! Start with this! 🙂
I love corn on the cob , one more reason to be happy its summer !
YAY!!!
Yes I’ve tried grilled corn on the cob. I like it with lime and paprika. The only problem that seems to be is that, there usually isn’t much room on the grill for it!
Oh that is a great idea! I cook mine first and it keeps warm in the foil until dinner. 😉
I love grilled corn on the cob! We don’t even husk it…just throw it on the grill! Yum!
Oh! I love corn on the cob on the BBQ! Nothing says Summer like BBQ, corn on the cob and strawberries for dessert!
When I first grilled it, I was surprised at how good it was too. Now I do it every time I use the grill!
YUM! I love grilled corn on the cob. Sweet like summer!!!
I have never grilled corn on the cob – I have always boiled it and I like it that way so never have wanted to try it another way. Sounds familiar… Hm, after reading this it sounds like I should break away from tradition and give grilling a try!
I just love grilled corn. I usually spread butter on them and than wrap them. I must give your way a try. Sounds yummy,
Yes I’ve made grilled corn and know I’m craving some. Thanks 🙂
I love grilled corn. I just throw it on the BBQ, no tin foil. This recipie sounds delicious, will have to try this weeknd!
This is one of my absolute favourite things to eat. Thanks for the reminder. I’ll have to make some soon.
I have never grilled corn on the cob before… just boiling for me. We bbq quite regularly, and one of my boys lives corn – perhaps I will try it next time we have some. I wouldn’t have thought to add other things to the package too…. perhaps I shall test this. Thanks!
I will admit to being stubborn too! The grilled corn on the cob will be perfect for Canada Day!
I’ve always been a boil it kind of person but you’ve inspired me to try grilling… we shall see
I love grilled corn on the cob, it’s easy and tasty
We grill it with just about every meal, have never tried the butter spread you used so next weekend, thanks!!
Love grilled corn, anytime I’ve ever cooked it we always just left it inside the husk. I’m going to give this a go.
