Our Parmesan Corn on the Cob recipe is so simple and quick to make using seasonal fresh corn that’s been smothered in a buttery, garlicky, parmesan spread. Then is can be grilled or roasted for the perfect summer side dish.
Roasted Parmesan corn on the cob
Our parmesan corn on the cob is super easy to make on the grill, bake in the oven, or wrap in foil and cook over a campfire.
The delicious combination of salty roasted parmesan, creamy butter, and sweet corn creates a healthy summer side that pairs perfectly with almost any main meal or your favorite dinner recipes.
Cooking corn with parmesan cheese and bathing it in seasoned butter is the best way to get gourmet corn on the cob when you’re bored of the basic buttered kernel.

Substitutions and Additions
- Vegan Version: You can use olive oil or avocado oil in place of the melted butter and leave out the parmesan cheese to make this a dairy-free recipe.
- Season Or Spice: Feel free to add some extra seasoning or spices to your butter mixture, like dried thyme, smoked paprika, or dried basil.
- Choose Your Cheese: You can substitute the parmesan cheese with Asiago, Regiano or Feta cheese (or a combination of them), but then this recipe obviously cannot be called parmesan corn on the cob!
