Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears fresh corn on the cob
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 1 unit lime
Instructions
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan over medium-high heat.
Shuck the corn and remove all the silk. Rinse the corn and dry it with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Brush each ear of corn with the seasoned olive oil ensuring even coverage on all sides.
Place the corn on the grill. Cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the corn is charred and tender. Use tongs to handle the corn safely.
While the corn is grilling, chop the fresh cilantro and cut the lime into wedges.
Once the corn is done, remove it from the grill and let it cool slightly for a couple of minutes.
Garnish the charred corn with the chopped cilantro and squeeze lime juice over each ear just before serving.
Serve immediately as a side dish or use as a topping for salads, tacos, or bowls.
