About

Corn, when it’s just picked, is full of natural sugars that caramelize to perfection on the grill or in a hot oven. Nothing could be easier or more satisfying than freshly roasted sweet corn.

Method

Prepare a hot charcoal grill or preheat the broiler to high. Shuck the corn and rub lightly with the oil. Set the corn directly on the grill or under the broiler and roast, rolling the cobs occasionally, until all sides are nicely browned, being careful they don’t burn, about 5 to 7 minutes’ total cooking time. Serve with dollops of Wild Greens Pesto.
