This Chili Lime Corn is the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. A fun way to jazz up your summer corn on the cob!

Hi Friends!

It’s Recipe Redux day again! This month’s prompt was an easy one:

Fresh from the Garden: The season of bountiful produce has arrived. Whether your produce comes from the farmers’ market, a CSA share, or a plot of dirt out back, show how you are using fresh July fruits or veggies. 

I honestly could have made 100 different things since we’ve been enjoying ALL the veggies lately…but I decided to bring back an old favorite! Hubby and I used to make our corn this way all the time…and then for some reason we totally stopped doing it for a couple of years.

Travesty!

This Chili Lime Corn is the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. A fun way to jazz up your corn on the cob!

Well this year I brought it back into the rotation and it’s just as good as I remember it!

There’s nothing fancy about this “recipe”. It’s pretty much just like it sounds.

Step 1: Cook your corn however you like to. Throw it in a pot, into the microwave or onto the grill.

Step 2: Let it cool enough to handle it, then cut a lime in half and rub over the ears while squeezing to release a little lime juice.

Step 3: Sprinkle with chili powder. Don’t go overboard! Just a light dusting will give you the perfect amount of spice to balance with the sweet corn.

Step 4: Enjoy!

Let’s chat:

Do you season your corn on the cob? What’s your favorite flavor combo?!

Enjoy!

    Fresh corn tastes so good that all I usually do is cook it briefly and eat it plain. I love the idea of a spicy touch though and will give it a try.

    I usually like corn with real butter and salt, but I might have to try this since I have some limes sitting on my counter!

    I would like a single ear of corn and don’t be stingy on the chilli/lime hybrid.

    That’s all.

    Looks very good and easy, Lindsay! My husband loves to grill corn this time of year and the chili/lime would be a fun variation.

    Such a great idea to change up corn than just putting on butter.

    This is making my mouth water!!! This sounds great. I never really season my corn, just add a bit of butter to it and let it melt all over. I think I will try this at my next BBQ party.

    I love how simple this is! I’ve never thought to eat corn this way, and I am excited to do this with the corn I bought the other day!

    This is a great! Our neighbor gave use fresh picked corn from his garden the other day and I honestly didn’t have a clue what to do with it… but now I do! Thanks!

    I like my corn au naturel! It’s so flavorful on its own! I might have to try this seasoning for the hubby though.

    YUM. I just had corn for the first time this season from a local farmers market last night and I was all smiles. This chili lime combo sounds awesome and such a fun way to spruce up the classic.
