Grilled Corn on the Cob
Ingredients
- 4 ears corn on the cob
- 2 tablespoons olive oil for grilling, or butter
Instructions
Grill
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, and feel free to use a grill pan if you prefer. This can take up to 15 minutes.
- Remove both the husks and silk from the corn and rinse to remove any debris. Pat corn dry with a paper towel or kitchen cloth.
- Brush kernels with olive oil or butter and place corn on the grill or grill pan. Close the grill and cook corn for 8-12 minutes, rotating the cobs occasionally. You will see char/grill marks. If the corn is not cooked enough to your liking, cook for a further couple of minutes. Husk-on or foil-wrapped versions will need another 5 minutes or so.
- Check if they are done by inserting a skewer or fork into the thickest part of the cob. If the kernels are easily pierced, you're good to go. Otherwise, cook for another couple of minutes and test again.
- Let corn cool for a few minutes, then top with butter and season (see topping ideas below) and serve.
Cook In The Ninja Foodie Grill and Air Fryer
- Select the Grill function, set the temperature to 400 degrees F / 200 degrees C, set the timer to 15 minutes, and let the Ninja grill preheat for a couple of minutes.
- Once the Ninja grill is preheated, add the seasoned corn directly on the grill grate.
- Close the lid and let grill for 10-15 minutes, making sure to turn the corn occasionally so that it cooks evenly. Cook till it is tender and charred to your preference.
- Let corn cool for a few minutes before serving.
Cook in the Ninja Foodie
- Preheat the Ninja Foodi on the Air Crisp function.
- Place the seasoned corn on the air crisp basket.
- Grill for 10-15 minutes, turning halfway through, making sure to turn the corn occasionally so that it cooks evenly. Cook until it is tender and charred to your preference.
Notes
- You can soak de-husked corn in cold water for about 20 minutes to keep the kernels plump and juicy before direct grilling. No need to do this if grilling them in foil.
Topping Ideas:
Classic - just some good old butter and salt. Mexican - I love adding on some crumble Cojita cheese and lime zest along with butter. Feel free to sprinkle on some Tajin too. Fresh herbs - sprinkle on some finely chopped fresh herbs like chopped cilantro, parsley, or chives. Lime - use your favorite chili lime seasoning, I loooove Tajin. Cheesy - simply add butter and tons of freshly grated parmesan cheese.
