sea salt to taste
EQUIPMENT
baking tray with rack
lemon zester

I can’t get enough summer corn lately–roasted, grilled, sauteed. Thanks for another delicious idea, Margot! Happy Friday.

Oooh Margot…love the idea. Never heard of a herbed butter like this. Have all the ingredients too (for once; including a lemon zester). Sweetcoen is one of my faves…

I love corn on the cob but haven’t gotten enough of it yet this year. I also love my zester and don’t know what I’d do without it, they’re great!

That sounds like a tasty butter to go with corn. I’ve never tried something like that–I’ve only done salt, pepper, and butter. I’ll have to give this a try

Oh this sounds simply gorgeous. Love the butter idea and I bet this would work well with grilled corn too.

I tried already different herbed butters for corn, and this one my favourite one, very fresh…. I will post one more herbed corn shortly, I made it few times aleady but never got a chance to take picture… with garlic and parsley butter
