Ingredients
  

  • 4 ears of corn
  • Avocado oil , for brushing (optional, if grilling without husk)
  • Butter , for topping (optional)
  • Salt , to taste (optional)
  • Black pepper , to taste (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat gas or charcoal grill to medium-high heat (400°F–450°F / 204°C–232°C) and clean grates thoroughly.
  2. Prepare corn: if cooking without husks, strip husks and silk entirely, then coat lightly with avocado oil; if cooking in husks, peel back outer leaves, remove internal silk, and fold husks back over cobs.
  3. Place prepared corn cobs directly onto grill grates perpendicular to grates.
  4. Grill covered for 10 to 15 minutes, using tongs to rotate cobs 90 degrees every 2 to 3 minutes to ensure uniform charring and even cooking.
  5. Transfer corn from heat; carefully peel back or discard husks if applicable.
  6. Apply butter, salt, and black pepper to warm corn immediately before serving.
