- Butter, lime wedges and chopped parsley, for serving optional
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium high heat.
Method 1: Grilled corn on the cob with husks on:

- Remove foil and serve!
- Method 3: Grilled corn without husk or foil
- Shuck the corn and coat with olive oil and salt, to taste.
- Cook for 12-16 minutes, over medium high heat, turning every 3-4 minutes or until well charred and cooked on all sides.
- If the corn is cooking too quickly, reduce the heat to medium.
- Serve corn on the cob warm with fresh lime juice, a pat of butter and freshly chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- Nutrition information does not include butter, lime or herbs as those ingredients are optional.
- If grilling the corn in foil, you can omit the oil and brush the corn with melted butter if desired.
- Change things up by seasoning your corn with your favorite spices or rubs, butter, herbs or pesto sauce!
- Rub the corn with a paper towel to remove stubborn silks.
- Use pre-shucked corn for methods 2-3 to save time.
