Ingredients
- 4 ears Fresh corn on the cob
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F).
Step 2
Remove the husks and silks from the ears of corn. Alternatively, you can leave the husks partially on if you prefer a rustic presentation.
Step 3
Brush each ear of corn lightly with olive oil to help prevent sticking and to enhance grill marks.
Step 4
Place the corn directly on the grill grates and close the lid. Grill for approximately 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even charring. The corn should have a mix of golden and lightly charred kernels.
Step 5
While the corn is grilling, prepare the garlic dill butter. In a small bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, minced garlic, chopped fresh dill, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well blended.
Step 6
Once the corn is done grilling, remove it from the grill and transfer it to a serving platter.
Step 7
Using a spoon or spatula, spread the garlic dill butter generously over each ear of corn while it’s still warm. The heat will melt the butter and coat the kernels evenly.
Step 8
Serve immediately as a flavorful side dish for barbecued meats, grilled vegetables, or a fresh summer salad. Enjoy!
