This is a fantastic side dish for when dinner is coming off the grill this summer. It’s easy to make, requires little attention while cooking and the taste is something the whole family will enjoy.
Don’t let the cumin or cayenne scare you off from making this dish because you think it will be too spicy. Both my 4 & 9 year old daughters devour this corn on the cob when I make it. There is just the right amount of heat and the cilantro and lime balance it off perfectly.
Grilled Corn on the Cob
Ingredients
-
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
-
2 teaspoons ground cumin
-
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
-
Kosher salt
-
4 ears yellow corn, shucked
-
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
-
4 wedges fresh lime
Directions
- Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Combine the butter, cumin, cayenne and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Brush half of the butter mixture over the ears of corn and wrap each ear in a piece of heavy-duty foil.
- Place the wrapped ears of corn on the grill and cook, turning every 10 minutes, until the corn feels soft on all sides when you squeeze it with tongs, about 30 minutes. Remove from the grill and cool for about 5 minutes.
- Unwrap the corn, being careful of steam, and place on a serving platter. Brush with the remaining butter mixture, sprinkle with the cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
