Grilled Corn On The Cob

Ingredients

  • 4 ears of fresh corn, husked
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil or melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon of pepper
  • Optional toppings: Parmesan cheese, chili powder, lime juice, cilantro

Instructions

  1. First, fire up that grill! Heat it to a medium-high setting because we’re about to throw some corn onto the flames.
  2. While the grill is heating, husk the corn and remove all those pesky silks. Feel free to get rid of the corn’s outer layers; we want the good stuff!
  3. Next, in a small bowl, mix together the olive oil (or melted butter if you’re feeling indulgent), salt, and pepper. This will be your magical corn potion!
  4. Brush each ear of corn liberally with the oil mixture. Make sure to coat them well! No corn left dry!
  5. Now, place the corn directly on the grill. Rotate the ears every 2-3 minutes until all sides are charred and looking beautiful (about 10-15 minutes total). Pro tip: you want those lovely grill marks for that extra “wow” factor.
  6. When the corn is perfectly grilled, remove it from the heat and let it cool for a minute. It will be hot, hot, hot!
  7. Finally, dress your corn with optional toppings. Whether you go for a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, a dash of chili powder, a squeeze of lime, or a sprinkle of cilantro, it’s all going to be a game-changer!

And there you have it: the best grilled corn on the cob that will make your taste buds dance! Get ready to bite into pure deliciousness and enjoy summer flavors all year round. Happy grilling!
