Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ears of corn
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Prepare the corn: Stand each ear of corn upright on a cutting board. Carefully cut the kernels off the cob. Then, cut each ear of corn in half lengthwise through the center. You should have four halves per ear, resembling ribs.

  6. Grill for 3-5 minutes per side, or until the corn is tender and slightly charred.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can brush the corn with melted butter before grilling.
  • Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to control the spice level.
  • This dish is great served as a side with grilled meats or as a standalone snack.
