  • Brush the corn with olive oil: This will help the corn to grill evenly and prevent it from sticking to the grill grates.
  • Season the corn with salt and pepper: You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or chili powder, to taste.
  • Grill the corn over medium heat: Cook the corn for 10-12 minutes, turning it occasionally, until the kernels are tender and slightly charred.
  • Serve the corn hot: You can serve the corn on the cob with butter, salt, and pepper, or with your favorite dipping sauce.
