Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces ears of corn, husks removed
- 2 pieces jalapeño peppers
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Brush the ears of corn with olive oil and set them aside.
Place the jalapeño peppers directly on the grill and roast them for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is blistered and charred.
Once the jalapeños are charred, remove them from the grill and place them in a small bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the peppers steam for 5 minutes, which will make it easier to peel off the skin.
While the jalapeños are steaming, place the ears of corn on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until lightly charred and tender.
Peel and deseed the jalapeños, then finely chop them.
In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, roasted jalapeños, lime juice, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Once the corn is done grilling, remove it from the heat and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
Spread the roasted jalapeño butter generously over the hot grilled corn.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
