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.

06/25/2014 at 9:06 amMy 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.
Tammi says
06/26/2014 at 6:27 amYes, 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!
Robin (Masshole Mommy) says
06/25/2014 at 9:08 amWe love grilling corn on the cob. It completely changes the flavor, doesn’t it? Yum!
Tammi says
06/26/2014 at 6:27 amIt sure does!
Ellen Christian says
06/25/2014 at 11:28 amThat looks amazing. Corn on the cob is one of my favorite summer dishes.
Tammi says
06/26/2014 at 6:28 amThanks Ellen, and me too. I love the sweet taste!
Nancy @ Whispered Inspirations says
06/25/2014 at 11:28 amYou’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.
Tammi says
06/26/2014 at 6:29 amOh, 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
Laurie P says
06/25/2014 at 1:28 pmParmesan cheese! Brilliiant! I’m definitely up for testing that out next time the BBQ is going. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Tammi says
06/26/2014 at 6:30 amIt’s sooo good!
Jennifer says
06/25/2014 at 2:23 pmI love corn on the cob, especially when it’s grilled. I love that charred, smoky flavor that comes with grilling them.
Tammi says
06/26/2014 at 6:31 amMmmm, and now I need to make some tonight!
Jason says
06/25/2014 at 2:44 pmYum! 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!
Tammi says
06/26/2014 at 6:32 amMmm, cheese!!!
susan says
06/25/2014 at 2:56 pmI have always wanted to try to grill corn on the cobb, I am sure this will be the most amazingly good corn.

Meagan says

Katy Rawson says
06/25/2014 at 4:20 pmWe 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.
Tammi says
06/26/2014 at 6:34 amNice!!
Pam says
06/25/2014 at 5:50 pmWe 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!
Tammi says
06/26/2014 at 6:35 amVery 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!
Janel says
06/25/2014 at 6:27 pmI love corn grilled!!
Tammi says
06/26/2014 at 6:35 amWe need to make t-shirts. 😉

Christy Martin says
06/26/2014 at 5:55 amYes 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!
Tammi says
06/26/2014 at 6:37 amOh that is a great idea! I cook mine first and it keeps warm in the foil until dinner. 😉
Krista says

kristin says
06/26/2014 at 2:35 pmYUM! I love grilled corn on the cob. Sweet like summer!!!
Jennifer P. says
06/26/2014 at 4:04 pmI 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!
Florence C says
06/26/2014 at 6:40 pmI just love grilled corn. I usually spread butter on them and than wrap them. I must give your way a try. Sounds yummy,
Carol M (Lushka S) says

Lana Thompson says
06/28/2014 at 10:42 amI 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!
Teresa Claire says
06/29/2014 at 5:02 pmI will admit to being stubborn too! The grilled corn on the cob will be perfect for Canada Day!

Matthew Tully says
07/06/2014 at 4:24 pmLove grilled corn, anytime I’ve ever cooked it we always just left it inside the husk. I’m going to give this a go.
