Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears fresh corn on the cob
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 medium lime
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or prepare coals for direct grilling.
Remove the husks and silk from each ear of corn and discard them. Rinse the corn under cool water and pat dry with a kitchen towel.
Brush the corn with olive oil, ensuring each ear is lightly coated. Sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Place the corn directly on the grill grates. Close the lid and grill for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the corn is charred in spots and evenly cooked through. The kernels should be tender and juicy, with a smoky aroma.
While the corn is grilling, finely chop the fresh cilantro and cut the lime into wedges.
Once the corn is cooked, remove it from the grill and transfer to a platter. Squeeze lime juice over each ear of corn and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately, enjoying the warm, smoky-sweet flavors of this Paleo Charred Corn alongside your favorite main dishes.
