Ingredients
For the corn
- 5 fresh ears of corn with the husk on
- strips of soaked husk for tying the bulk of the husk
- 1 Tbsp butter at room temperature
Cilantro Lime Ranch
- 1/4 cup reduced fat mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup non fat plain greek yogurt or sour cream
- 1/4 cup almond milk or regular milk
- 1 Tbsp buttermilk ranch seasoning mix
- 1/4 cup cilantro about a small handful
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- Juice of 1/2 lime
- chili lime seasoning Or something like Tajin
Instructions
How to Grill The Corn
- In a large pot or tub, soak the ears of corn in water at least 30 minutes. Place something heavy on top of them so that they don't float.
- Pull the husks back from the corn, remove the corn silk and pull the husks back in place. See notes.
- Place the corn directly on a heated grill rack and close the lid.
- Turn the corn every 3 minutes and cook about 30 minutes total.
- Transfer corn to a platter and without detaching the husks, peel them back completely, turning them inside out so they form a handle.
- Brush the corn with some butter and return the corn to the grill for about 5 minutes, turning it frequently.
- Return to the platter and brush with the Cilantro Lime Ranch & sprinkle with Tajin or Chili Powder.
Make the Cilantro Lime Ranch
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Store in refrigerator until ready to use.
Notes
- Don't remove the husks before grilling as they are vital to the flavor and cooking process.
- You can leave the silk on the corn and remove it after it has been grilled. Choice is yours :)
- The corn is cooked thru when the kernels are easy pierced with a fork.
- Make sure not to cook it for much longer than 30 minutes on the grill or it will become mushy.
- Grilled corn will stay warm for about 30 minutes with the husks on. If you need to reheat it for any reason, just place in a microwave covered for about 1.5 minutes to steam it a little bit.
