  • Author: Norah
  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings (1 ear per serving; adjust if serving size varies) 1x
  • Diet: Vegetarian

Description

Perfectly smoky and tender corn on the cob grilled right in the husk on your Traeger or any pellet grill. Paired with fresh green onions, this simple side dish brings out the natural sweetness of corn with a delicious smoky flavor—ideal for summer cookouts or BBQ dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 whole green onions

  • 4 ears of corn, in husk


Instructions

  • Preheat your Traeger pellet grill to 375°F (190°C).

  • Peel back the husks of the corn without removing them completely; remove the silk from each ear.

  • Rinse the corn and green onions under cold water, then pull the husks back up over the corn.

  • Place the ears of corn and green onions directly on the grill grates.

  • Grill for about 30-35 minutes, turning every 10 minutes until corn is tender and slightly charred in spots.

 

  • Remove from grill, let cool slightly, then peel back husks and serve. Optionally, season with butter, salt, and pepper to taste.

Notes

Soaking corn in water for 15 minutes before grilling can help prevent the husks from burning too quickly

Green onions can be grilled alongside the corn for a mild smoky flavor.

Serve with butter, lime juice, or your favorite seasonings.
