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.
