Grilled Corn on the Cob

Step 1

Shuck and clean the corn of all corn silk. Discard the husk and stems.

Step 2

Turn the gas burner on to medium-high heat. Using a long, heat-safe pair of tongs, put one ear of corn over the fire and cook, turning occasionally, until the corn is charred to your liking (about 4 to 5 minutes). To speed things up, you can use more than one burner to cook more corn ears at the same time.

Step 3

While the corn is warm, run the lime, flesh side down, all over the corn or simply squeeze the lime all over. Finish with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or Aleppo pepper.

Step 4

Preheat the grill to high and heat for about 10 minutes. Arrange the corn ears on the grates and cook, turning often, until charred to your liking (about 10 minutes). If you don’t have a gas grill, a grill pan will work as well.

Step 5

While the corn is warm, run the lime, flesh side down, all over the corn or simply squeeze the lime all over. Finish with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or Aleppo pepper.
