Ingredients

4 ears Fresh corn on the cob
2 tablespoons Olive oil
1 teaspoon Paprika
1 teaspoon Garlic powder
1 teaspoon Onion powder
0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
0.25 teaspoon Salt
2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
4 pieces Lime wedges

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 2

While the grill is heating, remove the husks and silk from the ears of corn.

In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix until well combined.

Brush each ear of corn liberally with the seasoned olive oil mixture, ensuring all sides are coated.

Place the seasoned corn on the preheated grill. Grill for about 12-15 minutes, turning the ears every 2-3 minutes, until the corn is tender and lightly charred.

Step 6

Remove the corn from the grill and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over each ear for added flavor.
