Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
  • 6 ears fresh sweet corn, husks removed, cleaned
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  •  
    1
    Heat gas or charcoal grill. Cut 30x18-inch sheet of heavy-duty foil. In small microwavable bowl, place butter, garlic salt and chives. Microwave uncovered on High 15 to 20 seconds or until butter is melted.
  •  
    2
    Brush butter mixture over each ear of corn. Place corn on center of foil. Pour any remaining butter mixture over corn. Sprinkle with cheese.
  •  
    3
    Bring up 2 sides of foil over corn so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion. Fold other sides to seal.

    Place packet on grill over low heat. Cover grill; cook 12 to 18 minutes, rotating packet 1/2 turn after every 6 minutes, until corn is tender.

    To serve, cut large X across top of packet; carefully fold back foil to allow steam to escape.

Expert Tips

  • tip 1
    Cooking an entrée and vegetable packets on the same grill? Move packets to the top rack, and add 5 minutes to the recipe cooking time.
  • tip 2
    If you've run out of heavy-duty foil, layer two sheets of standard foil to make your packet.
