Fall brings all the goodness of a harvest and some of the best of that harvest is the last of sweet corn! We love grilled corn more than I can say and even when its too chilly (is it ever?) to fire up the grill you can make the most delicious ears of corn right in your own oven! Super simple, no fuss and the kids will love having their own ear of corn to shuck ! I’ll explain both methods, but these beauties were cooked in my oven.
Grilled Corn
- Total Time: 1 hour

Ingredients
- 6 ears perfectly ripe fresh sweet corn

Instructions

- Wrap tightly in aluminum foil (for oven grilling only)
- Place directly on to rack (oven or grill)

- Prep Time: 30 minutes
- Cook Time: 30 minutes

Wrapping the corn in foil for oven grilling prevents a flash oven fire, but do be observant of what’s going on in your oven! You can also wrap your corn for the grill, but trust me its so delicious just cooked in the shucks you’ll want to give that a try. Don’t worry about the shucks looking burnt (You’re not eating them after all)but on the grill watch for any flash up.
Try grilled corn with your favorite compound butter for a delicious change of pace.
Enjoy!
I’m so glad summer’s here and I can cook corn like this! I love it soaked in salt water and tossed on the grill.

we love fresh corn! And on the grill or oven grilled, well its just that much better!
That is totally awesome. We always burn our corn, so I am trying this.

i love to cook it in the oven, you still get the ‘grilled’ taste without the char and its oh so good!
the key is soaking it long enough!
You have me craving corn on the cob now! This is a great way to prepare it.
I love grilled corn! I’m going to try this out for sure. Thank you for this! Our grilled corn doesn’t always come out right so I’ll be trying this for sure!
Grilled corn on the cob is the best. If you want something REALLY awesome, roast a head of garlic. Smash it up and then add it to your butter. YUM!
★★★★★
now that’s a great idea! And we love garlic!
We always cook corn on the cob when we grill. It’s not really grilling if you don’t!
★★★★★
no! its not really grilling, if you don’t but being able to enjoy when its too cold to grill is the best!
I love corn on the cob, especially if it’s grilled. I really love it grilled on a charcoal grill. It gives it a wonderful smokey flavor.

I prefer the grill, but it gets a little cool in the winter time, this is a great option!
Mmmm…delicious! Fresh, grilled corn on the cob. This is one of my grill veggie favorites.

I love grilled corn. I make mine without the husks.

I love grilled corn! I think we have made the mistake of not soaking the husk long enough wwhen we first made it.
Grilled corn is one of my favorite things to eat. I haven’t had it in ages though! Thank you for reminding me about it and how easy it is to make. I can’t wait to make it again!

Mama used to say I was part donkey, because I loved corn so much (had nothing to do with my wicked stubborn streak!)
I love to grill corn. Great tips.
