Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Corn on the cob
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground allspice
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 piece Fresh lime
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C). Alternatively, you can use a grill pan on your stovetop.
Peel back the corn husks without fully removing them and remove the silk threads. Once cleaned, fold the husks back over the corn.
Soak the corn in a large bowl of water for 10 minutes to prevent the husks from burning and help steam the corn as it cooks. If you’re not using husks, skip this step.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, ground allspice, dried thyme, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a spiced oil mixture.
Remove the corn from the water and pat dry. If you left the husks on, peel them back and tie them together with kitchen twine to create a handle.
Brush the spiced oil mixture evenly over each ear of corn, making sure to coat all sides.
Place the corn directly on the grill grates. Cook for 12–15 minutes, rotating every few minutes, until the corn is tender and charred in spots. Be careful not to burn the spices.
Remove the corn from the grill and immediately squeeze fresh lime juice over each ear of corn. For extra flavor, sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro, if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy the smokin’ hot Caribbean flavors of your grilled corn on the cob!
