Tips:

  • Choose fresh, sweet corn on the cob. Look for ears with tightly packed kernels and bright green husks.
  • Remove the husks and silk just before grilling. This will help the corn to cook evenly.
  • Brush the corn with melted butter or olive oil. This will help to prevent the corn from sticking to the grill and will add flavor.
  • Season the corn with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, chili powder, or cumin.
  • Grill the corn over medium-high heat for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally. The corn is done when the kernels are tender and slightly charred.
  • Serve the corn immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include butter, salt, pepper, cheese, and sour cream.
