Frequently Asked Questions About Grilled Roasted Corn
How do you grill roasted corn without the husk?
You can grill roasted corn directly on the grate after removing the husk and silk. Turn the ears often so the kernels brown evenly, and move them away from flames if the surface begins to char before the inside is tender.
Should you soak corn before making grilled roasted corn?
No, soaking is not necessary for grilled roasted corn. Soaking is sometimes used when grilling corn in its husk to keep the leaves from burning, but husked ears can go straight onto a clean, hot grill.
Can you make grilled roasted corn in an oven?
Yes, grilled roasted corn can be approximated in a hot oven using a baking tray or broiler. Turn the ears as they cook and watch closely under the broiler, since the kernels can brown quickly near the heating element.
What is the difference between grilled roasted corn and elote?
Grilled roasted corn is simply corn cooked over heat, while elote is a Mexican-style serving of grilled corn commonly dressed with mayonnaise, cheese, chile, and lime. The toppings distinguish elote; the corn itself is still grilled.
How do you stop grilled roasted corn from sticking to the grill?
To keep grilled roasted corn from sticking, start with a clean, lightly oiled grate and turn the ears once the kernels have begun to release. Avoid repeatedly moving them at the beginning, when the surface is most likely to cling.
Can you grill roasted corn in aluminum foil?
Yes, you can wrap corn in foil for grilled roasted corn, though it will steam more than it browns. For charred, toasted kernels, unwrap the ears near the end of cooking or grill them directly on the grate.
Can you eat the silk on grilled roasted corn?
A small amount of corn silk left on grilled roasted corn is edible, but most people remove it because the fine strands feel stringy. Peel back the husk and brush or rinse away the silk before grilling.
Can grilled roasted corn be made with frozen corn on the cob?
Yes, frozen corn on the cob can be used for grilled roasted corn. Thaw it first and pat the surface dry so it browns instead of steaming; turn it regularly because thawed kernels can soften quickly.
How do you reheat grilled roasted corn without drying it out?
Reheat grilled roasted corn in a covered pan with a small splash of water, or wrap it loosely in foil on the grill. Gentle, covered heat warms the kernels while helping them retain moisture.
What should you serve with grilled roasted corn?
Grilled roasted corn pairs well with grilled vegetables, beans, salads, and barbecued foods. Its smoky sweetness also works alongside spicy or tangy dishes; add butter, lime, or herbs at the table to suit the rest of the meal.

What is Grilled Roasted Corn?
Grilled Roasted Corn is corn on the cob cooked over a grill or hot coals. In Turkey, where it is a familiar street snack, vendors often roast it fresh, and it is just as easy to make at home on a barbecue.
The kernels get lightly charred and smoky while staying juicy and sweet, with a little bite. It is commonly eaten plain or with a pinch of salt; spices or a squeeze of lemon make easy additions. Corn provides fibre and folate and is naturally low in fat; a 100 g portion has 2.4 g of fibre. For a lighter serving, skip butter and pair it with grilled vegetables, a salad or other barbecue dishes.
