SOUTHWESTERN CORN ON THE COB --------------------------------------------------------------------------------BACK TO RECIPES
4 servings

1 tsp cumin, divided into 2 equal portions
3/4 tsp. chili powder, divided
1/2 tsp. onion salt
3/4 tsp. garlic pepper, divided
1/4 tsp. ground red pepper or cayenne, divided
4 ears of corn on the cob, husked
3 tbsp. softened butter or no-trans fat margarine


1. Preheat grill to medium direct heat

2. Blend 1/2 tsp cumin, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, onion salt, 1/2 teaspoon garlic pepper and 1/8 tsp. ground red pepper in a small bowl

3. Place each ear of corn on a piece of foil (6 inches wider and 4 inches longer than the ear itself)

4. Sprinkle your seasoning mixture evenly over the corn. Add 1 tablespoon of water to each pouch and fold foil to enclose the corn. Crimp the foil edges to seal, while leaving some room for expansion

5. Place your corn on the grill and grill, covered, for about 20 minutes, turning once.

6. While your corn is grilling, blend the butter, and the remaining spices and set aside

7. Remove the grill corn from their packets and place the corn on the grill. Brush lightly with butter-spice mixture and grill, covered for another 15-25 minutes, or until tender. Turn once or twice during the grilling process and brush with any remaining butter.
