Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears Fresh corn on the cob, husked
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix well to form a spice paste.
Brush each ear of corn with the spice paste, ensuring it is evenly coated with the mixture.
Place the corn directly on the grill grates. Grill for 12-15 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes, until the corn is tender and charred to your liking.
Once grilled, remove the corn from the grill and immediately drizzle with fresh lime juice.
Optional: Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro for an added burst of flavor and color.
Serve hot and enjoy!
