Print Recipe

A quick and easy summer side dish featuring fresh corn on the cob coated in butter and Parmesan cheese, roasted to a crispy, cheesy perfection.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ears fresh corn on the cob, husked and cleaned
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (kosher salt recommended)
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
  2. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
  3. Using a basting brush, generously coat each ear of corn with the butter mixture, ensuring every kernel is covered.
  4. Evenly sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of finely grated Parmesan over each ear, pressing lightly so it adheres to the butter.
  5. Place the corn cobs spaced apart on the prepared baking sheet to allow hot air circulation.
  6. Roast for 10-12 minutes, then carefully flip each ear using tongs and roast for another 10-13 minutes until golden-brown spots and a crispy cheese crust form.
  7. Check doneness by piercing the corn with a fork; it should be tender and the Parmesan coating crisp and golden.
  8. Optional: For extra crunch, broil for 1-2 minutes watching carefully to avoid burning.
  9. Serve immediately, optionally garnished with fresh chopped parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice.

Notes

Use freshly grated Parmesan for best crispiness. Press Parmesan lightly onto butter-coated corn to help it stick. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. For vegan version, substitute butter with olive oil and Parmesan with a vegan cheese alternative. Broil briefly at the end for extra crunch but watch carefully to avoid burning.
