Perfect Vegan Corn on the Cob

Recipe Description

Perfect Vegan Corn on the Cob is not as hard to make as you might think and I’m here to give you the secret! I’m giving you the dairy free version of my perfect corn on the cob in this recipe, but you can easily adapt this by using standard butter if you prefer.  

I start by grilling the corn on a hot grill pan or skillet until it is evenly charred. As you grill them, they might smoke and crackle but this is normal. Then I make a compound butter which is a mixture of butter and supplementary ingredients. I place the compound butter in the bottom of a baking dish and finish the corn in the oven.  

To make Perfect Corn on the Cob, you will need the following ingredients:

Great. I made this recipe for our first barbecue as a married couple. The corn turned out perfectly grilled and the compound butter added a delicious twist. Even my wife loved it, and she's picky about her food. Will definitely make it again.
