Meals That Pair With Corn on the Cob

May 3, 2020 by Ana Blackburn

There is no better taste of summer than fresh corn on the cob. This yummy family favorite goes well with just about everything, adding a touch of crunchy sweetness to the plate. Read on for some delicious main dishes to serve with corn on the cob for complete, family-friendly meals.

Meals That Pair With Corn on the Cob

What could go better with fresh, crunchy summer produce than more fresh, crunchy summer produce? Sautee or steam your favorite seasonal veggies and serve them up alongside some corn on the cob. For a more unique vegetarian meal, make veggie burritos with bell peppers, onions, zucchini, and whatever else you like and serve with corn on the cob that was rubbed in spices or marinated in a zesty sauce.

Fish

Give your dinner taste of land and sea by serving grilled tilapia or trout with your corn on the cob. For an Italian dinner, coat the fish in seasoned breadcrumbs and brush the corn with olive oil and black pepper. For a slightly spicy dinner, marinate the fish in a red pepper marinade and sprinkle paprika on your grilled corn on the cob. Save yourself some time and dirty dishes by grilling both the corn and the fish for your dinner.

Chicken

Chicken goes perfectly with corn on the cob because the chewy and crunchy textures play well off each other. Replace your kids’ favorite fast-food chicken sandwich with homemade grilled chicken sandwiches. Serve corn on the cob with salt and butter instead of fries on the side for a healthy twist on a restaurant meal. For a fancier meal, bake chicken breast and serve with corn on the cob and sauteed seasonal vegetables. Then, drizzle a lemon butter sauce over the whole plate for an explosion of summery flavor!

Beef

Whether you are hosting a neighborhood cookout or just firing up the barbecue for your family, grilling corn on the cob and cuts of beef together makes an awesome meal! Try burgers or marinated beef skewers for a crowd-pleasing dinner. Don’t forget the fresh veggies to use as toppings and sides! For a filling summer Sunday meal, grill up steaks and serve with corn on the cob and baked sweet potatoes. You will experience lots of delicious flavors and good-for-you nutrients.

Bacon Wrapped Corn on the Cob

You know what goes great with corn on the cob? Bacon! Yep. Try this amazing recipe.
