Grilled Corn With Alla Diavola Butter

Smoky grilled corn slathered in spicy butter is an irresistible, low-carb side that’s perfect for summer cookouts and grill parties.

There’s something magical about corn on the grill: the smokiness, the caramelization, the way it just works alongside everything from steak to grilled chicken.

This recipe takes classic grilled corn and gives it a fiery, flavorful upgrade with a bold, spicy butter “All Diavola Butter.” It’s rich, smoky, and packs a gentle heat—perfect for those of us who crave flavor without the blood sugar spike.


Traditional grilled corn usually comes slathered in plain butter or sugar-laden sauces. This version amps up the flavor with natural spices instead of added sugars or syrups—more depth, less crash.


Corn is naturally higher in carbs, but we keep portions controlled and balance it with fat from the butter to minimize blood sugar spikes. Plus, no added sugar in the seasoning means you’re not inviting hidden carbs to the party.


The Diavola Butter delivers bold flavor without relying on sugar, cream, or processed sauces. It’s all real ingredients, just smarter, spicier choices that work with your body, not against it.
