Ingredients

  • 4 ears corn, husks on $2.40
  • Water $0.00
  • Canola oil spray $0.06
  • 1 tsp sea salt $0.05
  • 4 Tbsp butter $0.64

Instructions

  • Soak 4 ears of corn in cool water for a least 10 minutes.
  • Gently peel back the green husks half way and remove the silks only, leaving the fibrous green husks intact. Cover the exposed corn with the husks. This will ultimately “steam” the corn as it grills!
  • Spray grill lightly with canola oil and grill corn cobs on high heat, turning every 2-4 minutes until all sides of the outer husks are equally charred. The corn inside should turn a more brilliant yellow and take on some extra color from the grill.
  • Enjoy with a little melted butter and a sprinkle of sea salt, using the peeled back husk as your handle.
