Sprinkle with fresh parsley or any additional toppings you love before serving.

Tips for the Best Griddle Corn on the Cob

• Use fresh, in-season sweet corn whenever possible.
• Rotate frequently to prevent burning.
• Don't overcrowd the griddle so each ear browns evenly.
• Add the butter after cooking to prevent it from burning.
• For even more flavor, mix garlic, herbs, or your favorite BBQ seasoning into the melted butter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I cook frozen corn on the Blackstone?

Yes. Let it thaw first for the best texture, then cook just like fresh corn.

Should I leave the husks on?

For this recipe, remove the husks before cooking. Cooking directly on the griddle gives the kernels the best caramelization and char.

What temperature should I cook corn on the Blackstone?

Medium heat, around 375–400°F, works perfectly. Higher temperatures can burn the outside before the inside becomes tender.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Corn is best served immediately after cooking, but you can cook it a few hours ahead and reheat it on the Blackstone before serving.

Jen's Tips

One of my favorite things about cooking on the Blackstone is that everything finishes at the same time. While burgers or steaks rest, throw the corn on the griddle, and by the time the meat is ready to serve, you'll have perfectly charred, buttery corn that's packed with sweet summer flavor. It's one of those simple side dishes everyone reaches for first!
