Ingredients:

  • 4 ears of fresh sweet corn, husks removed
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp cracked black pepper
  • 1 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges
  • ¼ cup Cotija cheese or crumbled feta

Instructions:

  1. Remove husks and all remaining silks from the corn. Pat the corn completely dry with a paper towel.
  2. Lightly brush each ear of corn with neutral oil to prevent sticking.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 400°F / 200°C).
  4. Place the corn directly on the grates. Grill for 10–12 minutes, turning every 2–3 minutes until kernels are vibrant gold with dark brown caramelized spots.
  5. During the last 2 minutes of grilling, brush the softened butter directly onto the hot kernels.
  6. Remove from heat and immediately sprinkle with kosher salt and cracked black pepper.
  7. Garnish with chopped cilantro, lime wedges, and optional Cotija cheese or feta.
