  • Season the corn: Brush the corn with oil and sprinkle it with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or chili powder.
  • Grill the corn: Grill the corn over medium-high heat for 10-15 minutes, turning it occasionally. The corn is done when it is tender and slightly charred.
  • Serve the corn: Serve the corn immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, salt, pepper, or chili powder.
