Description

Savor the sweet and smoky taste of summer with Cowboy Butter Roasted Corn. Fresh corn on the cob is generously coated in a zesty, herb-infused butter and grilled or roasted to perfection, making it an ideal side dish for barbecues and gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 ears of fresh corn, husked
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh chives, chopped
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, add the softened butter. Ensure it’s at room temperature for easy mixing.
  2. Add the minced garlic to the bowl.
  3. Mix in the Dijon mustard for tanginess.
  4. Pour in the Worcestershire sauce and fresh lemon juice.
  5. Sprinkle in the smoked paprika and cayenne pepper, adjusting the cayenne to your preferred spice level.
  6. Season with salt and black pepper. Mix until well combined and smooth.
  7. Fold in the chopped parsley and chives.
  8. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  9. Husk the corn, removing all silk and outer leaves. Rinse under cold water.
  10. Pat the corn dry with a paper towel.
  11. Generously slather the cowboy butter over each ear of corn, covering every inch.
  12. Reserve any leftover butter for dipping or future use.
  13. For grilling, place the buttered corn directly on the grill grates. Cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally.
  14. For oven roasting, place the buttered corn on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Roast for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through.
  15. Monitor the corn to prevent burning, aiming for a charred and tender finish.
  16. Remove the corn from the grill or oven carefully.
  17. Optionally, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the hot corn.
  18. Serve hot, garnished with additional parsley and chives if desired.
