CORN ON THE COB WITH LEMON-PEPPER BUTTER
Roasting fresh-picked corn is as old as the Ozark hills where I was raised. My Grandpa Mitchell always salted and peppered his butter on the edge of his plate before spreading it on his corn, and I did the same as a kid. Today, I continue the tradition by serving lemon-pepper butter with roasted corn-it's a favorite! -Allene Bary-Cooper, Wichita Falls, Texas

Tips:
- Choose the right corn: Look for ears of corn with tightly packed kernels and bright green husks. Avoid ears with brown or yellow husks, as these are likely to be old or dried out.
- Soak the corn: Soaking the corn in cold water for at least 30 minutes before grilling helps to prevent the kernels from drying out and becoming tough.
- Grill the corn over medium-high heat: This will help to char the kernels slightly and give them a smoky flavor.
- Baste the corn with butter: Basting the corn with butter while it's grilling helps to keep the kernels moist and flavorful.
- Season the corn with salt and pepper: Season the corn with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
Conclusion:
Grilled sweet corn is a delicious and easy side dish that can be enjoyed all summer long. By following these tips, you can make the perfect grilled corn on the cob every time. So fire up your grill and get grilling.
