Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears Fresh corn on the cob
- 0.5 cup Low-fat BBQ sauce
- 1 spray Olive oil cooking spray
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F).
Husk each ear of corn by carefully removing the outer leaves and silk. Rinse the corn under cold water to remove any remaining silk strands.
Pat the corn dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Lightly spray each ear of corn with olive oil cooking spray.
In a small bowl, mix salt, black pepper, and paprika together. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over each ear of corn, ensuring all sides are seasoned.
Place the ears of corn directly on the preheated grill. Allow the corn to grill for about 10-15 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes so all sides get evenly roasted. Look for a nice char, but avoid burning.
In the last 5 minutes of grilling, use a brush to apply a thin layer of low-fat BBQ sauce to each ear of corn, turning occasionally to caramelize the sauce onto the corn.
Once fully cooked, remove the corn from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
Optional: Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving for a burst of color and freshness.
Serve hot and enjoy!
