Oftentimes, the simplest things are the sweetest. Grilled sweet corn is a traditional side dish that adds a fresh, sweet crunch to almost any meal. A summer cookout just isn’t the same without this warm, golden treat topped with butter and salt.

INGREDIENTS CORN 6-8 large ears of corn
1/4 tsp kosher salt, plus more
Smoked Paprika 1 Lime
1/2 cup good-quality extra virgin olive oil
Vegetable (soybean) oil
Pinch Cayenne Pepper Fresh lemon juice
AOLI
2 tbsp Sriracha hot sauce
1 large egg yolk
Freshly ground pepper
1 small garlic clove, finely grated
INSTRUCTIONS In a food processor, combine egg yolk, garlic and salt. Blend until smooth. 1. With motor running, add oil until consistency begins to look like thick mayonnaise. 2. Transfer to a bowl. Season with cayenne, lemon juice, Sriracha and pepper. 3. Cover bowl and refrigerate until ready to use. 4. Pre-heat grill. 5. Place corn in a bowl of cold water for 10 minutes to help prevent burning on the grill. 6. Place unhusked corn directly on grill for about 7-8 minutes. Close lid. Rotate half way through for even cooking. Take corn off grill and remove husks. 7. Drizzle corn with oil and place back on grill. Continue to rotate corn until golden brown on all sides. Remove corn from grill when golden brown. 8. Take aioli sauce out of fridge and brush onto all sides of corn. Sprinkle with smoked paprika and squeeze lime on corn. Enjoy!
