Equipment

  • Grill

Ingredients

  • Fresh ears of corn
  • Extra virgin olive oil a few tablespoons
  • Salt plus other seasonings of choice

Instructions

  • Remove the husk and silk from the outside of your corn cobs.
  • Use a basting brush to brush each cob with a layer of olive oil.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place corn directly on the grill using tongs and grill corn for 12-15 minutes in total, turning the cobs every 3 minutes to a new side.
  • Season your corn however you’d like it (salt + whatever else). A pad of butter is my favorite!
