Gathering Supplies
- A grill.
- Frozen corn, preferably in the husk.
- Salt and pepper to taste (or any other spices you want to use).
- Butter or oil to brush on the corn before grilling it, if desired.
Preparing the Grill
- Preheat the grill to high.
- Brush the grill grates with oil.
- Clean off any excess food from last time you grilled, and then wipe down with a paper towel soaked in vegetable oil.
Preparing the Frozen Corn
First, you’ll need to remove the corn from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
The best way to do this is by placing the package on a plate and letting it thaw slowly in your kitchen.
After that, you can season with salt and pepper (and any other spices or seasonings that sound good).
Grilling the Corn
Grill the corn for 6-7 minutes on each side, until it’s heated through and slightly charred. Let cool for a few minutes before serving, then top with butter and salt (if desired).
Finishing the Corn
Once the corn is fully cooked, remove it from the grill and place on a plate. Add butter or oil and any spices you like (I recommend salt). Enjoy!
Serving the Corn
- Transfer the corn to a serving plate.
- Enjoy the grilled corn with friends and family.
Storing Leftovers
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container and place it in the refrigerator. Leftover corn should be eaten within 2 days.
Tips and Tricks
- Brush the grill grates with oil before grilling. This will help prevent the corn from sticking to the grill, and it will keep your corn from getting burnt.
- Use a spatula to flip the corn when it’s time to turn it over. If you try flipping with your hands, there’s a chance that some of those kernels will fall out of their husks and onto your hot grill–and then into your mouth!
- Grill corn over medium heat so that it doesn’t burn before its done cooking throughly inside its husk (which can take about 15 minutes).
Variations
The most obvious variation to this recipe is to add different spices to your corn.
You could even use a spice rub on the outside of each ear before grilling it, or sprinkle some salt and pepper on top once you’ve taken it off the grill.
Another option is to grill other vegetables along with your frozen corn anything from bell peppers and onions to zucchini or summer squash would be delicious!
Finally, if you want something cheesy, try adding some cheese right before taking off the grill so that it melts overtop of each piece of grilled frozen corn.
Conclusion
Grilling frozen corn is easy, and you’ll be surprised at how delicious it can be. The best part about grilling frozen corn is that it’s a great way to enjoy grilled corn with friends and family on those hot summer days.
