Some seasoning ideas to add to corn before grilling, crock potting, baking or grilling are:
-- Sea Salt & Pepper: Brush corn with butter or olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
-- Chili Lime: Brush corn ears with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Drizzle with lime juice [a lime half has enough juice for 2-3 ears], sprinkle with chili powder, [hot or mild according to your preference] and a smidgen of ground cumin.
-- Fresh Herbs: Brush corn with butter or olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Chop a fresh herb or combination of herbs and sprinkle on corn.
-- Curry Coconut: Brush corn with coconut milk, [instead of olive oil] and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle on curry powder and a smidgen of garlic powder.
-- Pesto: Spread corn with prepared pesto. [no additional seasoning is needed]
-- Sriracha: Spread corn with Sriracha or any other hot chili sauce. [no additional seasoning is needed] Courtesy of the good folks at, "AYummyLife.com." - 10
FOR GRILLING AND BAKING: The foil-wrapped ears can also be grilled over medium-high heat for approximately 20 minutes, rotating them periodically. Or, bake them in the oven at 350° for approximately 30 minutes wrapped in butter or olive oil in tinfoil and any additional seasonings. There are countless options. Just read the picture reviews!
