Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 corn on the cob

Optional toppings:

  • melted butter can use coconut oil for dairy free
  • smoked paprika
  • chopped cilantro

Instructions

  • Preheat your grill to a medium heat, around 400 degrees F. Remove the husks and silk (the strings) from each corn cob if they didn't come pre-shucked. Snap stem off the end of the corn and throw away. Rinse the corn with water and dry it off with a towel.
  • Once the grill is warmed up, place the corn on the grill grate with a pair of tongs and close the lid. Cook for 4 minutes.
  • After the 4 minutes are up, open the lid and rotate each corn cob one-quarter turn, then close the lid and cook another 4 minutes. Do this another two times until all sides of the corn have been face down on the grill grates and the corn kernels are starting to blacken.
  • Remove from the grill and serve immediately, plain or with toppings if desired.
