Ingredients
- 4 ears Fresh corn on the cob
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat.
Step 2
Husk the corn and remove all the silks. Wash the ears under running water to ensure all silk strands are removed.
Step 3
Brush each ear of corn lightly with olive oil, ensuring all sides are coated. This will help prevent sticking and promote even charring.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the oiled corn, rolling each ear around to coat all sides with the spices.
Step 6
Place the spiced corn on the preheated grill or grill pan.
Step 7
Cook the corn for about 3-4 minutes per side, turning frequently, until the kernels start to char slightly and develop a smoky aroma. Total grilling time should be around 12-15 minutes.
Step 8
Remove the corn from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
Step 9
Drizzle the fresh lime juice over the grilled corn for a bright, zesty finish.
Step 10
Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
Step 11
Serve the vegan charred corn hot or at room temperature for best flavor.
