Grilled Corn on the Cob
Grilled corn on the cob is one of the most beloved tastes of Romanian summer. Sweet corn cobs are cooked directly on the grill or over embers, developing a lightly smoky aroma and a slightly caramelized exterior. Served hot, brushed with butter and sprinkled with salt — simple, yet irresistible.

💡Variations
Oven corn: Wrap each cob in aluminum foil with butter and salt, bake at 200°C for 25–30 minutes — ideal if you don't have a grill.
Cheese and paprika corn: Brush the cob with mayonnaise, roll in grated telemea cheese, and sprinkle with hot paprika — inspired by the Mexican elote.
Boiled then grilled corn: Boil the cobs for 10 minutes to tenderize them, then finish on the grill for 5–8 minutes for color and aroma.
