Garnished with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness, it’s an easy and crowd-pleasing dish ideal for summer barbecues or family dinners.

Ingredients

Scale

Corn

  • 8 mini corn on the cobs (or 4 full cobs cut in half)

Garlic Butter Mixture

  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Topping and Garnish

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Corn: Arrange the mini corn cobs or halved full corn cobs evenly in a large baking dish or aluminum tray to ensure even baking.
  2. Make Garlic Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and optional red pepper flakes. Stir thoroughly to blend all flavors.
  3. Coat the Corn: Pour the prepared garlic butter mixture evenly over the corn, turning each piece carefully to coat all sides well for maximum flavor absorption.
  4. Add Parmesan Cheese: Generously sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the coated corn pieces, ensuring even coverage for a rich cheesy crust.
  5. Initial Bake: Cover the baking dish tightly with foil to trap moisture and bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes.
  6. Final Bake: Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5 to 10 minutes until the Parmesan is bubbly and turns golden brown, creating a delicious crust.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Optionally, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the corn before serving to add a fresh herbal note and vibrant color.

Notes

  • You can substitute mini corn cobs with regular full-size corn cut in halves or thirds.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes based on your desired spice level or omit for a milder dish.
  • If you prefer grilling, this recipe can be adapted by coating corn with the mixture and grilling instead of baking.
  • This dish pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, salads, or as part of a summer barbecue menu.
  • For a lower-fat version, use light butter or a butter substitute, but this will slightly reduce flavor richness.
