Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears corn on the cob
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 whole lime
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the husks and silk from the ears of corn. Rinse and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to create a seasoning oil.
Brush each ear of corn generously with the seasoning oil, ensuring all sides are coated evenly.
Place the corn directly on the grill grates. Rotate the ears every few minutes, allowing them to cook evenly and develop light char marks on all sides, about 10-15 minutes total.
While the corn is grilling, slice the lime into wedges for serving.
Once the corn is done, transfer it to a serving platter. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the warm corn and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your smoky, zesty Grilled Corn with Cumin and Lime!
