Gluten Free Grilled Corn with Lime Butter
Sweet, smoky, and finished with a bright citrus kick, this grilled corn is the kind of side dish that steals the show at any cookout. Four ears of fresh corn get brushed with olive oil and hit the grill over medium-high heat until the kernels are beautifully charred and tender — that caramelized bite is everything. While the corn cooks, a quick lime butter comes together with softened unsalted butter, fresh lime juice, zest, a pinch of salt, and a touch of chili powder for just the right amount of warmth. The moment the corn comes off the grill, that butter melts straight into every kernel, making each bite rich, tangy, and a little smoky all at once. Naturally free from gluten in every single ingredient, this is one recipe where you don't have to swap a thing or second-guess a label. Optional fresh cilantro and extra lime wedges at the table let everyone customize their plate. It serves four and comes together in under 20 minutes, making it an effortless win for weeknight dinners and weekend grilling alike.
