SPICY GRILLED CORN



SPICY GRILLED CORN image

Categories     Vegetable     Side     Grill/Barbecue

Yield 1

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 ear of corn
1/2 medium-sized orange bell pepper
1/4 medium-sized yellow onion
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried red chile flakes
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
salt and black pepper

Steps:

  • Shuck the corn and set aside. Dice the onion and pepper into pieces slightly larger than a kernel of corn. Mix the diced veggies together. Place the ear of corn atop two pieces of aluminum foil, approximately a foot in a length. Pile the diced vegetables on the sides of the corn. Drizzle the vegetables with the olive oil and spinkle with thyme, chile flakes, salt and pepper. Seal the veggies in the aluminum foil, forming an air-tight pouch. Place on a very hot grill for 12-15 minutes, covered. Flip and cook another 10 minutes covered. Remove from heat and carefully open pouch. Cut the kernels of corn off of the cob and mix with the peppers and onions. Serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh corn on the cob. Look for ears that have tightly packed, plump kernels and a bright green husk.
  • Soak the corn in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling. This will help to prevent the kernels from drying out.
  • Brush the corn with oil or melted butter before grilling. This will help to keep the kernels moist and prevent them from sticking to the grill.
  • Grill the corn over medium-high heat. This will help to prevent the kernels from burning.
  • Turn the corn frequently while grilling. This will help to ensure that the kernels are cooked evenly.
  • Cook the corn until the kernels are tender and slightly charred. This will typically take about 10-15 minutes.
  • Season the corn with your favorite seasonings. Some popular options include salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, and paprika.
  • Serve the corn immediately. Grilled corn is best enjoyed hot off the grill.

Conclusion:

Spicy grilled corn is a delicious and easy-to-make summer side dish. With its smoky flavor and spicy kick, it's sure to be a hit at your next cookout. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty way to enjoy fresh corn on the cob, give this recipe a try.
