Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears Fresh corn on the cob
- 1 light spritz Olive oil spray
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Smoked paprika (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Husk the corn and remove all silk strands. Rinse the corn under running water and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Alternatively, you can use a stovetop if a grill is not available.
Lightly spritz each ear of corn with olive oil spray to ensure an even coating.
Sprinkle the corn with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika if desired, ensuring the seasonings are evenly distributed.
Place the corn directly onto the grill or in a hot grill pan. Rotate every 2-3 minutes until all sides are evenly charred, which should take approximately 10 minutes.
Remove the corn from heat and transfer to a serving plate. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your easy and healthy low-calorie corn on the cob!
