Roasting fresh-picked corn is as old as the Ozark hills where I was raised. My Grandpa Mitchell always salted and peppered his butter on the edge of his plate before spreading it on his corn, and I did the same as a kid. Today, I continue the tradition by serving lemon-pepper butter with roasted corn—it's a favorite! —Allene Bary-Cooper, Wichita Falls, Texas

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix butter and lemon pepper. Grill corn, covered, over medium heat 20-25 minutes or until tender, turning often.

Sooo simple but my family all exclaimed on how good it tasted at 4th of July cookout. This goes in the "favorites" file, definitely.
This was very tasty. I cut my corn off the cob and put directly in the season melted butter. Served it like that. We all liked it.
