  • Soak the corn in water: Soaking the corn in water for 30 minutes will help to prevent it from drying out during grilling.
  • Season the corn: Season the corn with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings before grilling. You can also brush the corn with melted butter or olive oil for extra flavor.
  • Grill the corn over medium heat: Grill the corn over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally. The corn is done when the kernels are tender and slightly charred.
  • Serve the corn immediately: Serve the corn immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, salt, pepper, or chili powder.
