Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears Fresh corn on the cob
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to create a seasoning mixture.
Peel back the husks of the corn without removing them and remove the silk. Fold the husks back into place.
Using a brush, coat each ear of corn generously with the olive oil and spice mixture, making sure to get some underneath the husks if possible.
Place the corn on the preheated grill and cover. Grill the corn for approximately 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the kernels are tender and charred in spots.
Once grilled, remove the corn from the grill and let it cool slightly. Discard the husks.
Drizzle the grilled corn with fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your sugar-free BBQ grilled corn on the cob!
