Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears corn on the cob
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 whole lime
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F or 200°C).
Peel back the husks from each ear of corn without removing them completely, and remove the silk from the corn kernels. Fold the husks back over the corn and soak the ears in water for 10 minutes to prevent burning.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Remove the corn from the water, shake off excess, and brush the seasoned olive oil mixture generously over the kernels. Adjust and fold the husks back into place.
Place the corn directly on the grill. Cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the corn is tender and has char marks.
While the corn is grilling, zest and juice the lime. In a bowl, mix the zest, lime juice, and grated Parmesan cheese together.
Once the corn is cooked, carefully peel back and discard the husks. Brush the cooked corn with additional olive oil if desired, and sprinkle the Parmesan-lime mixture evenly over the ears.
Garnish with fresh cilantro if using, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Parmesan Lime Grilled Corn!
