Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears Fresh corn on the cob
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- 2 Lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Husk the corn, removing all silk and leaves. Rinse under cold water to remove any remaining silk strands.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Brush each ear of corn generously with the seasoned olive oil mixture, ensuring that all sides are covered.
If using the grill: Place the corn directly on the grill grates. Rotate every 5 minutes, grilling for a total of 20-25 minutes, until the kernels are tender and lightly charred on all sides.
If using the oven: Place the oiled corn on a baking sheet lined with foil. Roast for 25 minutes, turning halfway through, until the corn is tender and has a nice roasted color.
Once cooked, remove the corn from the grill or oven. Let them cool slightly.
Optionally, sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the corn.
