Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 cobs fresh sweet corn shucked
- 2 tsp canola oil
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 tsp smoke paprika or chili powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 fresh lime juiced
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tsp chili powder
- torn cilantro leaves or flat-leaf parsley for garnish
- lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to medium. Brush the cobs evenly with the oil. Grill for about 8–10 minutes, turning frequently. The corn will have some charred spots and be fork tender when it’s ready to come off the grill.
- Meanwhile, stir the mayonnaise with the paprika and garlic powder.
- Place the grilled corn cobs on a large platter and brush each cob with the spicy mayonnaise. Squeeze lime juice over the corn and scatter the feta cheese on top. Sprinkle with the chili powder and some cilantro. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
