🌽 Fire-Kissed Street Corn: From Coals to Culinary Art

4. Second Roast — Naked & Flavored

Peel back or remove the husks. Brush the kernels with a mix of butter, olive oil, paprika, cumin, and salt. Return to the grill for 3–4 minutes, turning to achieve even char marks.

5. Serve & Garnish

Transfer to a platter. Sprinkle with extra salt, squeeze over fresh lime, and — if desired — shower with cheese and coriander. Serve immediately while hot and fragrant.

💡 Chef’s Notes

  • Flavor Variations: Swap paprika for chili powder for a spicier kick, or add a touch of honey to the butter for a sweet-smoky glaze.
  • Presentation Tip: Serve on rustic wooden boards with lime wedges for a street-market feel, or plate individually with microgreens for a fine-dining twist.
  • Pairing: Perfect with a chilled glass of mint lemonade or a crisp Sauvignon Blanc.
