Ingredients
- 4 ears Fresh corn on the cob
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- 2 Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Husk the corn, removing all silk and leaves. Rinse under cold water to remove any remaining silk strands.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Step 4
Brush each ear of corn generously with the seasoned olive oil mixture, ensuring that all sides are covered.
Step 5
If using the grill: Place the corn directly on the grill grates. Rotate every 5 minutes, grilling for a total of 20-25 minutes, until the kernels are tender and lightly charred on all sides.
Step 6
If using the oven: Place the oiled corn on a baking sheet lined with foil. Roast for 25 minutes, turning halfway through, until the corn is tender and has a nice roasted color.
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the corn from the grill or oven. Let them cool slightly.
Step 8
Optionally, sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Step 9
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the corn.
