Fresh cilantro and lime wedges serve not only as garnishes but also enhance the overall flavor profile and visual appeal of your Honey-Lime Grilled Corn. Cilantro adds a vibrant, herbaceous note that balances the sweetness of the honey-lime glaze while providing a pop of green that brightens the dish. Lime wedges, on the other hand, offer a zesty, tangy counterpoint that invites diners to squeeze a bit more acidity over their corn, elevating the taste experience. Together, they create a dish that is as pleasing to the eye as it is to the palate.

Ingredients
  

4 ears of fresh corn, husked

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/4 cup honey

Juice and zest of 2 limes

1 teaspoon chili powder (adjust for heat preference)

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Corn: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Husk the corn and remove all silk strands. Rinse under cold water and pat dry.

    Make the Honey-Lime Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, lime juice, lime zest, chili powder, and sea salt until well combined.

      Grill the Corn: Place the corn directly on the grill grates. Grill for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until the corn is tender and has nice grill marks.

        Glaze the Corn: Using a brush, generously apply the honey-lime mixture to the corn during the last 2 minutes of grilling. This will allow the glaze to caramelize slightly and infuse flavor.

          Serve: Once grilled to perfection, remove the corn from the grill. Drizzle any remaining honey-lime glaze over the top and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra zesty kick.
