Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.
¼ tsp black pepper
½ tsp chili powder
2 tbsp fresh lime juice (from about 1 lime)
1 tsp lime zest
2 tbsp fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions

1
Stand each ear of corn upright on a cutting board and slice the kernels off the cob using a chef's knife, cutting close to the cob. You should have about 3 cups of kernels total.
2
Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat for 2 minutes, until the surface is very hot and just beginning to smoke. Add the olive oil and swirl to coat.
