Are you looking for the perfect side dish to accompany your weeknight meal or BBQ? Look no further than Ekilove’s Blackstone Corn on the Cob. This sweet and grilled corn is a summer favorite that will leave your taste buds craving more.
Elevating Corn on the Cob
We absolutely love using our air fryer or grilling corn on the cob. The Blackstone grill enhances the flavors of the corn, bringing out its natural sweetness. With simple ingredients and easy preparation, this dish is a crowd-pleaser.
Once the corn is grilled to perfection, we enjoy cutting off the kernels to incorporate into various recipes. Whether it’s adding them to salads, salsa, or sweet corn dishes, the possibilities are endless. Even picky eaters, like my kids, can’t resist this vegetable thanks to its delightful flavor.
Selecting the Best Corn
When it comes to finding the best corn, we recommend visiting a local farmer, farm stand, or farmers market. Freshly picked corn retains its maximum sweetness, so it’s crucial to serve it as soon as possible after harvesting.
To ensure you choose the cream of the crop, look for bright green ears of corn at the grocery store. Avoid wilted or discolored corn. When inspecting the corn, gently squeeze the tips to make sure the kernels are plump and juicy.

Grilling Corn with the Blackstone
Let’s get started with the grilling process:
-
Prepare the Blackstone Griddle: Preheat the Blackstone grill over medium-high heat, reaching approximately 400 degrees F.
-
Clean and Prepare Corn: Remove the husks and silk from the corn cobs.
-
Get Your Foil Ready: Cut six pieces of foil and place each cob on a separate piece.
-
Seasoning Corn: Drizzle olive oil over each cob and generously season with salt and pepper.
-
Wrap and Cover: Roll up each cob in the foil, ensuring they are completely covered. This helps lock in the flavors while grilling. For added heat retention, consider covering with a dome.
-
Grill to Perfection: Place the foil-wrapped corn on the flat top of the Blackstone grill and cook for approximately 10-15 minutes, flipping the corn every 5 minutes. Aim for a cooked-through texture.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Carefully remove the corn from the grill and unwrap the foil. Your Blackstone Corn on the Cob is now ready to be savored. Serve with a pair of tongs for easy handling.

Frozen Corn on the Blackstone?
In case you’re wondering, grilling frozen corn is absolutely possible. Since frozen corn is preboiled during packaging, be cautious not to overcook it. Remove the frozen corn from the freezer, season with salt, pepper, and butter, then wrap it in foil for a delightful side dish. It’s an easy way to enjoy corn on the cob without the hassle of husking.
