The grilling process caramelizes the natural sugars, creating a smoky flavor and tender texture. Optional seasonings like fresh lime and Aleppo pepper add a bright, slightly spicy note. The recipe can be adapted for various cooking methods, including gas stovetop or grill pan, offering flexibility without sacrificing taste.

Ingredients

For the Grilled Corn
  • 6 corn husks and silk removed, ears
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • kosher salt
Optional Seasonings
  • 1 lime halved (optional
  • Aleppo pepper (optional, or red pepper flakes)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your grill to high. Brush the corn with a thin layer of olive oil. Once the grill is very hot, about 10 minutes, arrange the corn on the grates and cook until charred to your liking.
  2. Turn. Turn the corn often to cook and char all sides. This should take about 10 minutes in total.
  3. Season to your taste and serve. Remove the corn from the grill. If you’d like to add the optional lime and Aleppo pepper, immediately run the cut lime all over and season with a sprinkle of Aleppo pepper. Either way, finish with a pinch of salt and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Brush corn lightly with olive oil before grilling to promote even charring.
  • Turn corn frequently during grilling to ensure all sides develop a nice char.
  • You can grill corn on a gas stove flame or grill pan if an outdoor grill isn’t available; use long tongs and watch carefully while charring.
  • Leftover grilled corn can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; avoid reheating on the cob to preserve texture, and consider using kernels in salads.
  • Adding lime juice and Aleppo pepper after grilling introduces a mild tang and gentle heat that complements the smoky flavor.
