Ingredients
- 4 ears corn on the cob
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 whole lime
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 2
Remove the husks and silk from the ears of corn. Rinse and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to create a seasoning oil.
Step 4
Brush each ear of corn generously with the seasoning oil, ensuring all sides are coated evenly.
Step 5
Place the corn directly on the grill grates. Rotate the ears every few minutes, allowing them to cook evenly and develop light char marks on all sides, about 10-15 minutes total.
Step 6
While the corn is grilling, slice the lime into wedges for serving.
Step 7
Once the corn is done, transfer it to a serving platter. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the warm corn and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro if desired.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your smoky, zesty Grilled Corn with Cumin and Lime!
