No cookout is complete without grilled corn on the cob, and we have an easy hack for ensuring you get great results. After removing the silks but not the husks, soak the corn in cold water for an hour before grilling to ensure the kernels are plump and tender. Then grill them in their husks. If you can’t find ears in husks or don’t have time to soak them first, wrap each cob in foil and grill as directed. While they’re incredibly tasty on their own, the real fun of eating corn on the cob comes from the seasonings you choose to sprinkle on them. Spicy Tajín, savory everything bagel seasoning, or cheesy nutritional yeast are all great options for upping the flavor of your favorite BBQ side dish.
Tip: To make this recipe gluten-free, be sure to only use certified gluten-free seasoning blends and sauces.
