Chili Parmesan Grilled Corn… and the winner!

Posted by

Before getting to this lovely corn, I want to congratulate… Nami of Just One Cookbook for being the giveaway winner (#36)!

Congrats to Nami!!!! And now, onto this corn! …

Oh, grilled corn. There’s nothing like grilled corn to make you love the summer season. Last year, my most popular post became my Cilantro Harissa Grilled Corn. Last week, without harissa on hand, I tried to simulate the goodness of that grilled corn with what I had in the kitchen. I came up with this chili Parm grilled corn. It was wonderful! Buttery, spicy, and cheesy. Paired with the sweet corn, I was in heaven!

    If that tastes as good as it looks I am driving to DC to get some. I am in Richmond most weekends anyway, so I am half way there or you could move back to Durham.

    Thank you once again for the generous giveaway. You know how excited I was when I saw your message! 😀 I exclaimed in the car and my family was surrprised! haha.

    Oh I remember your previous corn post. That was a really popular recipe and I know this one will too. In fact I’ll get corn this week or weekend and I’m going to give it a try. I know butter + chili + Parmesan sounds way too good to pass. I can’t wait!

    Tiffany, this is making my mouth water. My usual method for corn is slather it with olive oil and grill it, but next time I’m using this recipe. Wow–so much flavor!
