Is there anything better during the summer months than grilled corn on the cob?
If you are looking for easy grilled vegetable recipes you can’t beat this one.
Fresh corn on the cob is one of summers best treats. Sweet sweet corn, dripping in butter with a touch of salt. Well most of us would agree that is food heaven.
Putting corn on the cob right on the grill to cook alongside your other dishes is not only convenient, it adds another layer of deliciousness to that already great corn.
The joy of grilled corn is that you can take it anywhere.
Picnics, tailgating and barbecues are all great events for roasting corn on the barbecue.
You can eat this grilled corn immediately, slathered in butter of course, or you can cut the corn kernels off and use the grilled corn kernels in a marinated vegetable salad with other grilled vegetables.
Either way, get ready for a real summer treat.
If your corn is really sweet, try eating it without the butter. Yes, without the butter. Believe it or not, if you have good corn, it doesn’t even need the butter to taste great.
