What you'll need

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted grass-fed butter and raw honey.
  3. Place the corn directly on the hot grill and cook for 10–12 minutes, rotating every few minutes, until the kernels are tender with golden-brown char marks.
  4. During the final 2–3 minutes, brush the corn with the butter-honey mixture, turning frequently so it caramelizes without burning.
  5. Remove from the grill and immediately sprinkle each cob with sea salt, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
  6. Brush with a final light coating of the butter-honey mixture before serving.

FAQ

Can I use agave nectar instead of raw honey?

While agave nectar is a natural sweetener, it is highly processed. Raw honey retains more nutrients and uses whole-food principles which align better with clean eating.

Is organic corn really necessary for this dish?

Organic corn ensures that no synthetic pesticides or fertilizers are used, supporting cleaner and more sustainable agricultural practices.
