Grilled Corn on the Cob: A Summer Classic
Summer is the perfect time to fire up the grill and enjoy the simple pleasures of fresh, seasonal produce, and nothing says summer quite like freshly grilled corn on the cob. This easy-to-follow recipe delivers perfectly grilled corn, with optional seasonings to enhance the flavor.
Ingredients
For The Grilled Corn:
- 6 ears of corn, husks and silk removed
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt
Optional Seasonings:
- 1 lime, halved (optional)
- Aleppo pepper (optional, or substitute with red pepper flakes)
Directions
- Preheat the Grill:
- Start by preheating your grill to high heat.
- Prepare the Corn:
- Brush each ear of corn with a thin layer of olive oil. This helps to prevent sticking and adds a slight richness to the flavor.
- Grill the Corn:
- Once the grill is hot (usually after about 10 minutes), place the corn directly on the grill grates. Grill the corn until it is charred to your liking, turning often to ensure even cooking and charring. This should take approximately 10 minutes.
- Add Seasonings (Optional):
- If you’re using lime and Aleppo pepper, as soon as you remove the corn from the grill, rub it down with the lime halves and sprinkle with Aleppo pepper. This adds a delightful zesty and slightly spicy flavor that complements the sweetness of the corn.
- Season and Serve:
- Finish with a pinch of kosher salt over each ear of corn and serve immediately while hot and juicy.
