Ingredients
Scale
- 4 fresh ears of corn, shucked and cleaned
- 4 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- 1 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
- Lime wedges (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat your grill to a medium-high setting. If you’re opting for an oven, set it to 400°F.
- Carefully remove the husks and silk from the corn, then rinse under cool water and dry with a towel.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter with sea salt, smoked paprika, and onion powder if desired.
- Generously coat each corn ear with the butter mixture, making sure to cover all sides thoroughly.
- Grill the corn directly on the grates or place it on a baking sheet if using the oven. Cook for approximately 15-20 minutes, turning the corn every few minutes until it becomes tender and has a nice char.
- Once cooked, take the corn off the grill or out of the oven and allow it to rest for a few minutes.
- Serve the corn warm, accompanied by lime wedges for a zesty finish.
Notes
- For an added twist, consider using chili powder instead of smoked paprika for a spicy kick.
- You can also top the corn with crumbled feta or a drizzle of hot sauce just before serving for an extra layer of flavor.
