Optional: Pinch of red pepper flakes or chili powder
Instructions
Boil a large pot of water and cook the corn for 8–10 minutes until tender and bright yellow.
Alternatively, preheat the grill to medium-high, brush the corn lightly with oil, and grill 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally.
For air-frying, spritz corn with cooking spray and cook at 400°F for 10–15 minutes, turning halfway until lightly charred.
In a small bowl, mix melted butter, minced garlic, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth and aromatic.
Brush or spoon the garlic butter generously over each ear, coating every kernel.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan over the warm corn so it melts and sticks evenly.
Garnish with fresh parsley and a pinch of red pepper flakes or chili powder if desired. Serve hot and enjoy.
