Garlic butter corn on the cob

by

Ingredients

  • 4 ears of fresh corn, husked and cleaned
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • ½ tsp salt (or to taste)
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp paprika (optional, for extra flavor)
  • Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the corn and cook for 5–7 minutes, until tender. Drain well.
  2. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant (don’t let it brown).
  3. Stir in parsley, salt, pepper, and paprika. Remove from heat.
  4. Brush or spoon the garlic butter over the hot corn on the cob, coating evenly.
  5. Serve warm with extra garlic butter on the side and optional lemon wedges for a fresh squeeze of flavor.

Would you like me to also give you a grilled version of this recipe (instead of boiling)?
