Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or preheat your oven to 475ðF (245ðC).
  2. Cut the bacon into small, bite-sized pieces, about 1/2-inch wide.
  3. In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil and blanch the cut corn kernels for 1 minute until just tender; drain well.
  4. Thinly slice the white and tender green parts of the scallion.
  5. Take a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil (about 18 inches square) and place the drained corn in the center.
  6. Scatter the bacon pieces evenly over the corn.
  7. Fold the foil over the corn and crimp the edges tightly to create a sealed, leak-proof packet.
  8. Place the packet on the grill grate or on a baking sheet if using the oven.
  9. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the packet is puffed and the bacon is crispy.
  10. Carefully open the foil packet, allowing the steam to escape away from you.
  11. Immediately stir in the sliced scallions and serve warm.
