Olive Oil Parmesan Grilled Corn

This grilled corn on the cob isn’t your average summertime side. Spice up this recipe with olive oil and parmesan cheese for the most flavorful, EASY summertime corn on the cob that can be made right on your grill!

If you are anything like me, you love grilled corn. Growing up in the midwest has given me the luxury of living near hundreds of farm fields filled with this knee-high love every summer.

There’s nothing better than the Minnesota State Fair’s roasted corn stand. A little dip of butter and some salt. Ohh baby. Speaking of the state fair, growing up that was one of my summer jobs! I’d help run the Wisconsin State Fair’s apparel booth. Fun stuff.

For this recipe, I wanted to get a little bit more creative than the classic butter + salt combo. Insert —> EVOO + parmesan cheese + basil. YUM.
