Before You Begin

The buttery, nutty flavor of Parmesan cheese works surprisingly well with the flavor of grilled corn.

Instructions

Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until bubbling. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt.

Grill the corn over a medium-hot fire, turning the ears every 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, until the dark outlines of the kernels show through the husk and the husk is charred and beginning to peel away from the tip to expose some kernels, 8 to 10 minutes.

Transfer the corn to a platter. Carefully remove and discard the charred husks and silk. Brush grilled corn with garlic butter and sprinkle with 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
