Grilled Corn on the Cob
Grilled Corn on the Cob is an easy summer side that's ready in under 10 minutes. Serve it plain or with a little lime and a dash of chili flakes or Aleppo pepper. And you don't even need a grill! See notes and the recipe video for my stovetop version.
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
For the Grilled Corn
- 6 ears of corn, husks and silk removed
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Kosher salt
Optional Seasonings
- 1 lime, halved (optional)
- Aleppo pepper (optional, or red pepper flakes)
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to high. Brush the corn with a thin layer of olive oil. Once the grill is very hot, about 10 minutes, arrange the corn on the grates and cook until charred to your liking.
- Turn. Turn the corn often to cook and char all sides. This should take about 10 minutes in total.
- Season to your taste and serve. Remove the corn from the grill. If you’d like to add the optional lime and Aleppo pepper, immediately run the cut lime all over and season with a sprinkle of Aleppo pepper. Either way, finish with a pinch of salt and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Notes
- Shop this recipe: Visit our shop to browse quality Mediterranean ingredients including the olive oil and Aleppo pepper used in this recipe.
- Other cooking methods: You don’t need an outdoor grill to make grilled corn!
- On A Gas Stove: Place one ear of husked corn over the flames of your burner on medium-high heat. Use a pair of long, heat-safe tongs to turn occasionally until the corn is charred on all sides to your liking, about 4 to 5 minutes in total. As the corn cooks, it will pop and sizzle. That’s normal, but be sure to stand back for your safety.
- On A Grill Pan: Preheat your grill pan to high. Once it’s very hot, about 5 minutes, arrange the corn on the pan, cooking in batches to avoid overcrowding. Turn the corn often to cook and char all sides. This should take about 10 minutes in total.
- Leftovers: If you do have leftovers, you can store them in the fridge for up to 3 days. I don't recommend reheating corn, instead, you can shave it off the cob and use the kernels in something like this delicious black bean and corn salad.
