Follow these simple steps to create the perfect grilled corn on the cob:

1. Preheat the grill to medium heat. This ensures that your corn cooks evenly and achieves the perfect char.
2. Brush each corn ear with olive oil. This adds flavor and prevents the corn from sticking to the grill.
3. Sprinkle with salt and chili powder if using. The salt enhances the corn’s natural sweetness, while the chili powder adds a spicy kick.
4. Place corn on the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally. Keep an eye on the corn, ensuring it becomes tender and slightly charred.
5. Remove from the grill and squeeze fresh lime juice over the corn before serving. The lime juice adds a refreshing tang that complements the corn’s smoky flavor.
