Prepare the Corn: Remove husks and silk from the corn and rinse under running water. Pat dry.
Make Garlic Butter: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Stir well.
Cook the Corn:
Grill: Brush corn with garlic butter and grill over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally.
Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place corn on a baking sheet, brush with garlic butter, and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Stovetop: Heat a pan over medium-high heat, add corn, and cook for 8-10 minutes, rotating to ensure even cooking.
Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese over the corn during the last few minutes of cooking. If baking, broil for 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts and turns golden.
Garnish & Serve: Remove from heat, sprinkle with fresh parsley or cilantro, and serve warm. Enjoy!
