A simple grilled corn recipe that delivers big flavor with very little effort. Sweet corn gets charred on the grill, then slathered with a smoky, savory butter made with Everything con Chipotle Bagel Seasoning and finished with lime and Pica Maica.

Ingredients

  • 4 ears fresh corn, husks peeled back and tied at the base
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons Everything con Chipotle Bagel Seasoning
  • Pica Maica, for finishing
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

Directions

  1. Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Peel back the corn husks, removing the silk but keeping the husks attached at the base. Tie the husks together to create a handle.
  3. Brush the corn lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Grill the corn, turning occasionally, until tender and charred in spots, about 10 to 12 minutes.
  5. While the corn cooks, combine the softened butter and Everything con Chipotle Bagel Seasoning in a small bowl. Mix until fully incorporated.
  6. Transfer the hot corn to a serving platter and generously schmear each ear with the seasoned butter.
  7. Finish with a sprinkle of Pica Maica and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
  8. Serve immediately, and enjoy.
