Ingredients

  • 4 ears Fresh corn on the cob
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Sea salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
  • 1 whole Lime
  • 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Start by husking the corn and removing all silks. Rinse the corn under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F (200°C).

Step 3

Brush each ear of corn lightly with olive oil using a basting brush. Ensure all sides are coated to prevent sticking and promote even charring.

Step 4

Season the corn generously with sea salt and ground black pepper, again ensuring even coating all around.

Step 5

Place the corn on the hot grill and cook, turning every 2-3 minutes using tongs, until all sides are charred evenly. This should take about 12-15 minutes in total.

Step 6

As the corn cooks, juice the lime into a small bowl. Chop the cilantro finely.

Step 7

Once the corn is charred to your liking, remove it from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.

Step 8

Drizzle the lime juice over the charred corn and sprinkle the chopped cilantro evenly over each ear.

Step 9

Serve immediately as a delicious side dish to compliment any Whole30 meal.
