Grilled corn in husks is a simple yet delicious dish that celebrates the natural sweetness and smoky flavor of fresh corn on the cob. This method involves grilling whole ears of corn while still wrapped in their husks, which helps to steam the kernels and keep them juicy and tender. As the corn cooks over the hot grill, the husks char and impart a subtle smokiness to the kernels inside. Once cooked, the husks are peeled back to reveal perfectly grilled corn, which can be enjoyed as is or with a variety of toppings. Grilled corn in husks is a popular side dish for summer cookouts and barbecues, offering a delightful combination of sweetness, smokiness, and crisp texture that is sure to please any palate.
