Ingredients
4 ears of corn (husks removed)
1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
1/2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp chili powder (optional, for heat
1 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
Salt and pepper (to taste)
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
1/4 cup heavy cream or milk (optional, for extra creaminess)
Directions
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Alternatively, you can use a grill or stovetop.
Prepare the Garlic Butter:
In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, paprika, chili powder (if using), salt, and pepper. Add parsley for a fresh flavor.
Coat the Corn:
Brush the corn generously with the garlic butter mixture, making sure to coat all sides.
Bake or Grill:
Oven Method: Place the corn on a baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes, turning halfway through for even roasting.
Grill Method: Grill the corn over medium heat for 10–15 minutes, turning often for a charred flavor.
Add the Cheese:
During the last 5 minutes of cooking, sprinkle shredded cheese over the corn. If using the oven, broil for 2–3 minutes to melt and slightly brown the cheese.
Serve:
Remove the corn from the heat and drizzle with any remaining garlic butter. Garnish with additional parsley if desired. Serve hot.
