Ingredients

• 4 pieces fresh ears of sweetcorn, in husks
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
• 4 pieces lime wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375-400°F).

Step 2

Peel back the husks of each ear of sweetcorn, but do not remove them completely. Remove as much of the silk (the fine, thread-like strands) as possible. Fold the husks back over the kernels.

Step 3

Soak the sweetcorn in cold water for 10 minutes. This helps to prevent the husks from burning on the grill.

Step 4

While the corn is soaking, prepare the seasoning by combining melted butter, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Stir well to blend.

Step 5

Remove the corn from the water and shake off any excess. Place the sweetcorn directly onto the grill grates and close the lid.

Step 6

Grill the sweetcorn for about 12-15 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes to ensure even cooking. The husks will become charred, and the kernels will start to deepen in color.

Step 7

Once the corn is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it cool slightly. Peel back the husks or remove them entirely if preferred.

Step 8

Brush the seasoned butter mixture generously over each ear of corn while it’s still warm.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped cilantro (if using) and serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor.
