Description
A delicious summer side dish with fresh corn slathered in garlic butter and Parmesan cheese.
Ingredients
- 4 cobs Fresh Corn
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Salt (to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper (to taste)
- 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese (freshly grated)
- 1/4 cup Chopped Fresh Parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Corn: Begin by husking the corn and removing any silk. Rinse the cobs and set them aside.
- Boil the Corn: Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Carefully add the corn and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until tender. Remove the corn and let it drain.
- Make the Garlic Butter: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.
- Season the Butter: Stir in salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes (if using). Ensure everything is well mixed.
- Coat the Corn: Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over each corn cob, making sure to cover all sides.
- Add Parmesan: Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese all over the butter-coated corn.
- Garnish and Serve: Finish with a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley for color and added flavor. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
For best flavor, always choose fresh corn and freshly grated Parmesan. You can substitute butter with olive oil for a lighter dish.
