Ingredients
- 4 ears Fresh corn on the cob
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.5 teaspoons Lemon zest
- 4 sheets Aluminum foil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 375°F or 190°C).
Step 2
Remove the husks and silk from each ear of corn. Rinse and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine softened butter, parsley, thyme, garlic, salt, pepper, and lemon zest. Mix until evenly combined.
Step 4
Tear off four sheets of aluminum foil, each large enough to wrap a single ear of corn (approximately 12 x 12 inches).
Step 5
Place each ear of corn on the center of a sheet of foil. Spread 1 tablespoon of the herbed butter mixture evenly over the entire surface of each ear of corn.
Step 6
Wrap each ear of corn tightly in the foil, sealing the edges to form a secure packet.
Step 7
Place the foil-wrapped corn on the preheated grill. Cover and cook for 20 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Step 8
Carefully remove the packets from the grill using tongs, and let them sit for 2 minutes before unwrapping (be cautious of hot steam).
Step 9
Serve immediately, optionally garnished with additional chopped parsley or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
