Ingredients
- 4 ears fresh corn on the cob
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 medium lime
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or prepare coals for direct grilling.
Step 2
Remove the husks and silk from each ear of corn and discard them. Rinse the corn under cool water and pat dry with a kitchen towel.
Step 3
Brush the corn with olive oil, ensuring each ear is lightly coated. Sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Step 4
Place the corn directly on the grill grates. Close the lid and grill for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the corn is charred in spots and evenly cooked through. The kernels should be tender and juicy, with a smoky aroma.
Step 5
While the corn is grilling, finely chop the fresh cilantro and cut the lime into wedges.
Step 6
Once the corn is cooked, remove it from the grill and transfer to a platter. Squeeze lime juice over each ear of corn and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
Step 7
Serve immediately, enjoying the warm, smoky-sweet flavors of this Paleo Charred Corn alongside your favorite main dishes.
