A fun and interactive grilled corn on the cob bar featuring six delicious topping ideas that transform a simple side into a flavorful centerpiece perfect for summer parties and casual gatherings.

Ingredients

  • Fresh ears of corn, husks removed
  • Olive oil or melted butter (for brushing before grilling)
  • Salt and black pepper (to taste)
  • Cotija cheese (crumbled)
  • Fresh lime wedges
  • Chili powder
  • Chopped fresh cilantro
  • Unsalted butter (softened)
  • Minced garlic
  • Finely chopped parsley
  • Lemon zest
  • Mayonnaise
  • Sriracha sauce (adjust to heat preference)
  • Lime juice
  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Chopped fresh basil
  • Cracked black pepper
  • Greek yogurt
  • Smoked paprika
  • Minced chives
  • Pinch of salt
  • BBQ sauce
  • Chopped green onions
  • Toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F (200°C). If using a grill pan, heat it on medium-high.
  2. Remove husks and silk from each ear of corn. Brush each ear lightly with olive oil or melted butter, then season with salt and pepper.
  3. Place corn directly on the grill grates. Turn every 2-3 minutes using tongs to get an even char on all sides. Grill for about 12-15 minutes until kernels are tender and slightly blackened.
  4. While the corn grills, prepare your chosen toppings in separate bowls.
  5. Once the corn is grilled, arrange the ears on a large platter or tray. Place bowls of toppings, lime wedges, and extra seasonings nearby for easy access.
  6. Invite everyone to build their own corn on the cob with the toppings. Encourage mixing flavors for a fun experience.

Notes

Brush corn with oil or butter before grilling to lock in moisture and prevent sticking. Turn corn frequently for even cooking and avoid over-charred kernels. Prepare toppings ahead for convenience. For dairy-free options, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt and use vegan mayo or margarine.
