Garlic Parmesan Corn on the Cob is a deliciously flavorful summer side dish featuring fresh corn slathered in a rich garlic butter sauce, sprinkled with Parmesan cheese, and baked to golden perfection. This easy recipe is perfect for BBQs, family dinners, or any time you crave a savory, cheesy corn treat.

Ingredients

For the Corn

  • 4 cobs Fresh Corn

For the Garlic Butter Sauce

  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter
  • 4 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Salt (to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper (to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes (optional)

For Topping

  • 1 cup Parmesan Cheese, freshly grated
  • 1/4 cup Chopped Fresh Parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the corn.
  2. Arrange Corn: Place the fresh corn cobs in a large baking dish or aluminum tray, spacing them evenly for even cooking.
  3. Prepare Garlic Butter Sauce: In a bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and optional red pepper flakes. Stir until well mixed to create a flavorful garlic butter mixture.
  4. Coat Corn: Pour the prepared garlic butter sauce evenly over the corn cobs, making sure each piece is thoroughly coated for maximum flavor.
  5. Add Parmesan Cheese: Generously sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the corn, enabling it to melt and create a cheesy crust during baking.
  6. Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes to cook the corn and infuse it with the garlic butter flavors.
  7. Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the Parmesan cheese turns golden brown and bubbles beautifully.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Once baked, garnish the corn with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness before serving warm.

Notes

  • For spicier corn, increase the amount of red pepper flakes or add a dash of cayenne pepper.
  • Fresh corn yields the best texture and flavor, but frozen corn on the cob can be used if fresh is unavailable.
  • You can substitute Parmesan cheese with Pecorino Romano for a sharper taste.
  • To make cleanup easier, use aluminum foil to line the baking dish before adding the corn.
  • This recipe can be doubled or tripled to accommodate larger gatherings.
