Ingredients

For best results, always use the best quality ingredients you have access to. Side note: farmers markets have some amazing tasting corn this time of year.

You could play with seasoning here if you are feeling adventurous. But the basics are pretty hard to beat. Simple seasoning allows the true taste of the corn to shine through.

How to grill corn on the cob

The first step is to prep the corn.

Pull back the corn husks and  detach them from the corn and remove the silky inside by pulling the strands from the top of the corn.

Prep the grill. Preheat the grill to medium-heat and brush the grates with some the oil of your choice. I have used avocado oil and olive oil for this.

Cook. Place the corn directly onto the grill and cook it for 15-20 minutes, using tongs to turn it while it cooks so that it gets charred on all sides.

Recipe Notes

  • Nutritional information is approximate and was calculated using a recipe nutrition label generator.
  • To easily peel the husks away from the corn, start at the top and pull it down towards the bottom of the ear of corn.
  • Make sure you rotate the corn as it cooks so that it cooks evenly on all sides.
