Recipe for Parmesan Garlic Grilled Corn- an easy and flavorful side dish for summer. Ears of grilled corn are brushed with a garlic butter and sprinkled with Parmesan cheese and parsley before serving.
This Parmesan Garlic Grilled Corn is a great grilled side dish for your upcoming summer festivities. The corn is cooked on the grill (can also bake in a 350 F oven), then brushed with a melted, garlic-infused butter. Sprinkle a little Parmesan over the ears while the corn is still hot to let the cheese melt slightly. If you want your kernels lightly charred, remove all the husks prior to grilling.
This was Evan’s first time trying corn. Once he figured out how to eat it, he love it! He kept taking a couple of bites, then sharing a little with Daddy. There was also less mess to clean after lunch, since he couldn’t throw random pieces of food everywhere.

Parmesan Garlic Grilled Corn
Ingredients
- 4 ears fresh corn
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 clove garlic grated or minced
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
- 1 tablespoon freshly chopped parsley
Instructions
-
Preheat grill to 350-400 degrees F. Remove most of the husks on the corn and leave the innermost layer intact. Pull them back just enough to remove the silks, then place back over the corn.
-
Place corn on preheated grill. Cook, turning once or twice until kernels are bright yellow, 15-20 minutes.
-
In the meantime: place butter and garlic in a small heat-safe bowl. Microwave until butter is melted, 10-15 seconds.
-
Remove remaining husks and brush the corn kernels with melted garlic butter while still hot. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and parsley.
-
Serve immediately.

Is there a suggested method or a photo for this step:
“Remove silks and most of husks from corn, leaving on the innermost layer.”
Trying to understand how to remove the silks while still leaving the husks in place.
Tara says
Hi Amanda! I remove most of the husks completely, then gently pull back the last layer (but don’t detach them) just enough to remove the silk and put the husks back into place over the now clean corn kernels.
