Perfect for barbecues, picnics, or any outdoor gathering, this recipe is not only vegetarian and gluten-free but also incredibly easy to prepare.

The process begins with fresh ears of corn, which are carefully prepared by pulling back the husks and scrubbing off the silks. This step ensures that the corn is clean and ready to absorb all the delicious flavors during grilling.

Once on the grill, the corn transforms as the husks blacken and the kernels become sweet and smoky. The aroma wafting from the grill is simply irresistible! After just 16 minutes of grilling, you’ll have perfectly charred corn that can be slathered with melted butter and sprinkled with kosher salt for an extra burst of flavor.
