03 - Mix parmesan cheese, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, and black pepper in separate bowl.
04 - Brush each ear of corn generously with herb butter mixture.
05 - Place corn directly on grill. Grill 12–15 minutes, rotating every 3–4 minutes, until kernels are tender and lightly charred.

07 - Serve immediately, garnished with additional herbs if desired.
# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- The combination of ranch and parmesan clings to every charred kernel creating bites that are simultaneously smoky creamy and zesty
- Its a 30 minute side dish that makes people think you put in way more effort than you actually did
02 -
- Apply the parmesan mixture immediately after removing corn from the grill while it's still hot enough to melt the cheese slightly
- Press the coating onto the corn rather than just sprinkling it on top so it actually sticks
03 -
- Husk the corn right before grilling to keep the kernels as fresh and sweet as possible
- If your grill has hot spots move the corn around so everything cooks evenly
