Charred Corn on Cob

Charred Corn on the Cob is a delightful Paleo Indian BBQ dish that brings out the natural sweetness of corn with a smoky, spicy twist. Perfect for summer grilling, this dish is both simple to prepare and bursting with flavor.

Ingredients

• Fresh corn on the cob - 2 ears
• Ghee (clarified butter) - 2 tablespoons
• Cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
• Smoked paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Chili powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Cilantro (fresh, chopped) - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Lime - 1, cut into wedges

Steps

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
2. While the grill is heating, remove the husks and silk from the corn and rinse under cold water.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the ghee, cumin powder, smoked paprika, chili powder, and salt to create a spiced ghee mixture.
4. Brush the spiced ghee mixture generously over the corn, ensuring to coat all sides.
5. Place the corn on the grill, turning every 5 minutes, until the kernels are charred and cooked through, about 15-20 minutes.
6. Once cooked, remove the corn from the grill and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
7. Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the corn.
