Ingredients
- 4 ears corn on the cob
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 whole lime
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese (optional)
- 4 sheets aluminum foil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (or set your oven to 400°F/200°C).
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to create a seasoned butter blend.
Step 3
Husk the corn and remove any silk threads. Rinse and pat dry.
Step 4
Cut four sheets of aluminum foil, each large enough to wrap an ear of corn securely.
Step 5
Place one ear of corn on a sheet of foil. Spread 1 tablespoon of the seasoned butter evenly over the corn.
Step 6
Wrap the foil around the corn tightly, sealing the edges to ensure no butter leaks out during cooking. Repeat for all ears of corn.
Step 7
Place the wrapped corn on the preheated grill or in the oven. Cook for 20 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Step 8
Carefully unwrap one foil packet to check for doneness; the corn kernels should be tender and slightly golden.
Step 9
Once cooked, remove all foil and serve hot. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the corn, sprinkle with chopped cilantro, and, if desired, top with grated parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
Step 10
Enjoy your flavorful and mess-free 'That's a Wrap Corn on the Cob'!
