If you’re looking for a new and delicious way to make corn, try grilling corn on the cob with butter, lime juice and cilantro! Easy and so good. And a perfect way to use up all that sweet summer corn!
A surprising + delicious combination!
Fresh cilantro and lime juice on corn?! YES. Oh the lime…it seriously takes this corn to the next level. This grilled corn is tender, and so flavourful.
Grilled is the way to go.
Grilling corn on the barbecue is the best. And so easy. The butter and herbs soak into the corn as it roasts, and makes the corn so flavourful and sweet. But I pretty much love any vegetables that are roasted because the flavour seems to be so much better. Like roasted cauliflower? The best. Or roasted beets or asparagus or potatoes? Yum. Hungry yet?
Grilled Corn on the Cob Recipe Tips
- CORN: Use fresh sweet corn. Remove the corn husks and silk.
- WRAPPING IN FOIL: After adding butter, lime juice and cilantro, make sure to wrap the individual cobs of corn tightly in foil. Then place on the barbecue, seam up, so the butter stays in the foil.
Handy tip: What to do with leftovers!
If you end up with leftover corn, here are some great ways to use it up! Cut the corn kernels off the cob and use it in any of these recipe ideas:
- Put together a simple corn salad. Add some chopped peppers, onions and chickpeas, and a squeeze of lime juice.
- Make Corn Cakes
- Make this Avocado Corn Couscous Salad
- Add it to this Simple Corn Chowder
