Ingredients

  •  ears corn fresh sweet cleaned
  • tablespoons basil fresh chopped
  • tablespoon parsley fresh chopped
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic salt 

Equipment

  • grill
  • aluminum foil

Directions

  1. Heat gas or charcoal grill.
  2. Cut 4 (18x12-inch) sheets of heavy-duty foil.
  3. Place each ear of corn on center of 1 foil sheet. In small bowl, mix herb butter ingredients.
  4. Brush or spoon herb butter over surface of each ear. Bring up 2 sides of foil so edges meet. Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion.
