Ingredients
- 6 corn on the cob (husks removed)
Miso Butter
- 1/4 cup vegan butter (soft)
- 1 tbsp white miso
- 1 tbsp tamari
- 1 tbsp lime juice (or lemon juice)
- 1 tsp maple syrup
Optional toppings
- freshly chopped cilantro (or parsley)
- chopped red onion , for sprinkling
- sea salt and pepper
- lime wedges
Instructions
- Turn oven to broil and bring the oven rack to top third of the oven. Line a baking tray with foil.
- Additionally, bring a large pot of water to boil.
- Prepare miso butter: in a bowl combine miso, tamari, lemon juice, maple syrup and vegan butter. Mash together with a fork to combine.
- Gently immerse the corn into the boiling water and cook for 3 minutes, or until the corn turns a bright golden yellow in colour. Remove corn from pot and place on a kitchen towel to cool, pat to dry. Then transfer the corn to a lined baking tray.
- Generously slather the corn with the miso butter to coat all sides. (Keep any remaining miso butter for serving)
- Broil the corn in the oven for 3-5 minutes, turning halfway through to ensure both sides are lightly charred.
- When lightly charred, remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped herbs, red onion, sea salt and pepper. Drizzle with lime juice and serve with remaining miso butter.

Notes
Miso butter will keep in fridge for up to one week. Placing miso butter in fridge also makes for a firmer texture, more butter like. Opt-in for this if you prefer to spread onto corn like butter vs. painting or drizzling.
Corn is best served fresh. If you have leftovers, cut corn off the cob and use in salads and buddha bowls.
