Helpful Tips

  • For a smokier flavor, add a few sprigs of fresh thyme or rosemary inside the foil packets.
  • If you’re a fan of cheese, sprinkle grated parmesan on the corn before wrapping it in foil.
  • Beginner tip: Prep and wrap the corn at home to make it easier to handle at the campfire.

Storage Instructions

If you have leftovers, store the corn in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on the grill or in the microwave until hot.
