Chef’s Tips:
-
If you are grilling, why not try this method? Once your corn is in the foil wrap, place packets into a disposable foil pan and place on an indirect heated grill. The perfect side dish at your next BBQ!
-
If you are planning a party, this recipe and method is the way to go! You can individually wrap each ear of corn instead of one large foil packet. This way, your guests can grab a foil-wrapped piece of corn quickly and easily.
-
Corn is not the only vegetable you can cook using this method. Try asparagus, broccoli, carrots, or any other vegetable you would typically boil for a flavor-packed veggie side dish!
