For the tastiest, most tender corn, try grilling or roasting it in foil with our delicious cajun butter. This easy corn recipe with spiced, flavored butter is perfect for summer. It tastes fantastic, is quick to make, and requires minimal cleanup.
You Will Need
4 ears corn, shucked
4 tablespoons room temperature butter
2 cloves garlic, finely minced or grated
2 tablespoons cilantro or parsley leaves, minced
1 tablespoon homemade cajun seasoning; see notes
Directions
Preheat a gas grill to 400° Fahrenheit to 450° Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes. For a charcoal grill, once the coals look ashy and white, spread them out and push most of them on one side of the grill, creating a hotter, more direct cooking area. Depending on your charcoal, this can take over 30 minutes. If roasting in the oven, heat the oven to 400° Fahrenheit (200°C) and position the oven rack towards the middle.
Prepare the flavorful butter by combining butter, garlic, cilantro (or parsley), and cajun seasoning. Mix well.
Use a spoon to spread the butter evenly over the ears of corn.
Place the buttered corn onto aluminum foil and tightly wrap it to create a packet.
For grilling, cook the corn packet over indirect heat (cooler area of your grill) for 10 to 15 minutes, rotating and flipping it once or twice during grilling.
For roasting in the oven, place the corn packet on a baking sheet and bake at 400° Fahrenheit for 20 to 30 minutes, flipping it once during roasting.
Adam and Joanne's Tips
- Cajun seasoning: For the best results, we recommend using our homemade cajun blend. However, if you prefer to use a store-bought brand, feel free to do so. Just keep in mind that different brands may vary in their salt content, so you might need to adjust the seasoning accordingly to suit your taste preferences.
