Ingredients
- 4 ears Fresh corn on the cob
- 0.5 cup Low-fat BBQ sauce
- 1 spray Olive oil cooking spray
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F).
Step 2
Husk each ear of corn by carefully removing the outer leaves and silk. Rinse the corn under cold water to remove any remaining silk strands.
Step 3
Pat the corn dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 4
Lightly spray each ear of corn with olive oil cooking spray.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix salt, black pepper, and paprika together. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over each ear of corn, ensuring all sides are seasoned.
Step 6
Place the ears of corn directly on the preheated grill. Allow the corn to grill for about 10-15 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes so all sides get evenly roasted. Look for a nice char, but avoid burning.
Step 7
In the last 5 minutes of grilling, use a brush to apply a thin layer of low-fat BBQ sauce to each ear of corn, turning occasionally to caramelize the sauce onto the corn.
Step 8
Once fully cooked, remove the corn from the grill and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
Step 9
Optional: Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving for a burst of color and freshness.
Step 10
Serve hot and enjoy!
