When corn makes its short seasonal appearance, you'll find us in our backyard making this chili lime grilled corn on the cob on repeat. It's smoky and sweet, with a little heat, and dripping with the flavors of chili-infused butter, fresh lime, and cilantro. It's easy, delicious, and takes only 20 minutes to make!
Ingredients
4cobscorn, husk removed
1teaspooncooking oil
1tablespoonbutter
1teaspoonchili powder
⅛teaspoonsea salt
1lime
Chopped cilantro, to serve
Instructions
Preheat your BBQ to high heat. Coat the corn in the oil, place it on the grill, and cook it for 10 minutes, turning it every few minutes so that it cooks on all sides.
4 cobs corn, 1 teaspoon cooking oil
Melt the butter in a small frying pan then stir in the chili powder and sea salt.
1 tablespoon butter, 1 teaspoon chili powder, ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
When the corn has finished cooking, remove it from the grill and brush the chili butter evenly over each piece. If you don't have a brush you can spoon the butter over the corn.
Squeeze the lime over the corn, sprinkle with cilantro, and serve immediately.
1 lime, Chopped cilantro
Notes
If you'd like to leave the husks on, like in the photos, carefully pull the husks back from the corn cobs, remove the silks, then tie back the husks using one piece of the husk as a rope. When you're cooking the corn, keep most of the husk out of the BBQ.
