I love the summer for the seasonal sweet corn on the cob. The price is incredible low when in season so get it while you can.
Once you cook it on the BBQ this way, you won’t even want to boil them again.
The corn comes out so perfect and crunchy, with the zesty lime butter to give each bite a slight creamy tang. Sweet and sour always go together nicely.
DIET IDEA:
Serve with a protein of choice to make it a meal. I serve mine with bunless vegan burgers or wrapped in lettuce. Served with fresh slices of tomatoes, pickled onions, vegan mayo and mustard. Yum!!
This will save on the high calorie count of this meal by eliminating the flour made bun.
Let them soak in their own husk for 10 minutes will give the corn the cooking moisture when on the BBQ.
The husks may burn on the ends a little, but not the corn itself.
Cook for 20 minutes making sure to turn the corn every 5 minutes so all the sides are evenly cooked.
Serve with or without the husk on.
