When it comes to summer cookouts and barbecues, corn on the cob is the quintessential side dish. There’s really nothing like fresh, juicy sweet corn! We’ve elevated the classic in this grilled Parmesan corn on the cob recipe.
Grilling corn on the cob infuses it with a wonderful smoky, caramelized flavor. Sometimes, though, the high heat of the fire can cause the kernels to dry out.
