Ingredients

• 4 ears of corn (husks removed)
• ¼ cup unsalted butter (melted)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• ½ tsp paprika
• ¼ tsp chili powder (optional, for heat)
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
• Salt and pepper (to taste)
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
• ¼ cup heavy cream or milk (optional, for extra creaminess)

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Alternatively, you can use a grill or stovetop.
  • Prepare the Garlic Butter:
    • In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, paprika, chili powder (if using), salt, and pepper.
    • Add parsley for a fresh flavor.
  • Coat the Corn:
    • Brush the corn generously with the garlic butter mixture, making sure to coat all sides.
  • Bake or Grill:
    • Oven Method: Place the corn on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through for even roasting.
    • Grill Method: Grill the corn over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, turning often for a charred flavor.
  • Add the Cheese:
    • During the last 5 minutes of cooking, sprinkle shredded cheese over the corn. If using the oven, broil for 2-3 minutes to melt and slightly brown the cheese.
  • Serve:
    • Remove the corn from the heat and drizzle with any remaining garlic butter.
    • Garnish with additional parsley if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

  • For an extra creamy version, you can add a bit of heavy cream or milk to the garlic butter mixture.
  • Adjust the chili powder to your spice preference.
  • This recipe works well for both oven and grill cooking, so you can choose based on your preference or cooking setup.
