I love grilling in the summer! To be honest though, since we live in San Diego we grill year round. I do grill more in the summer though. Especially since the season brings tons of great veggies! Corn on the cob is probably one of my favorites on the grill. I’ve tried soaking it, leaving the husk on and a few other ways. I’ve found the easiest method is to grill it with foil. It comes out perfect every time and requires little effort. This works great on a grill or even a camp fire!

Grilled Corn on the Cob

Ingredients:

1 ear of corn per person plus one square of foil for each

Earth Balance organic buttery spread – about 1 teaspoon per cob

Salt to taste

Directions:

Peel the husks off and rinse the cobs, dry thoroughly. Lay foil squares out and spread the Earth balance right on the foil, add a dash of salt if desired.

Place the corn on the foil and roll it up, twisting the ends to close. Repeat for as many cobs as you have.

Grill on medium to high heat for about 20 minutes total, turning at least 3 or 4 times to prevent burning. If you are using a charcoal grill or a camp fire it might take closer to 30 minutes and you should turn the corn every 5. Carefully remove the foil and enjoy your tasty grilled corn!

    I totally know what you mean, I don't like that either.

    Yum, I just grilled some tofu on the grill the other night. :)

    Thanks for this! I do corn on the cob in the husk on the grill, but I don't care much for grassy flavor left behind. Know what I mean?

    I've been cooking tofu on the grill this week. Love it!

    Thanks for the grilling instructions. I had this exact thing on the 4th down to the earth balance spread on it. Good stuff!
