Indulge in the essence of summer with this tantalizing grilled corn on the cob. Each bite bursts with sweetness and smoky flavor, elevated by a sprinkle of paprika and garlic, and finished with fresh parsley and a zesty lime wedge.

Ingredients
- Corn on the cob
- 4 ears, husked
- Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon
- Black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons
- Lime wedges
- 4 wedges
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it's clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking.
- Peel back the husks of the corn, leaving them attached at the base for easy handling. Remove the silk and discard it.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to create a flavorful seasoning blend.
- Brush each ear of corn generously with the olive oil mixture, ensuring an even coating for maximum flavor.
- Place the corn directly on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally with tongs. Look for tender kernels and a beautiful char on all sides.
- Once grilled to perfection, remove the corn from the grill and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant touch.
- Serve hot with lime wedges on the side, allowing guests to squeeze fresh lime juice over their corn for an extra zing.
Tips
- For a sweeter flavor, consider soaking the corn (in husks) in water for about 30 minutes before grilling.
- Experiment with different seasonings, such as chili powder or Parmesan cheese, for variations in flavor.
- Try adding a touch of honey or maple syrup to the olive oil mixture for a sweet-savory twist.
