Spanish Street Corn
A couple days ago we had such lovely, warm, summer-like weather I went to bed dreaming of summer food.
The next day I had ribs and corn on the cob.
Follow your dreams yall.
Spanish Street Corn
A few ears of Corn
Olive Oil
Salt
Pepper
Spanish Paprika
Grated Parmesan Cheese
———————————————————————————-
Peel back the corn husks but be careful not to pull them off completely.
Gather the husks back and sort of gently tie them together.
It’s best if you tie them with a thin strip of the husk itself or trussing thread if you have any.
And don’t freak out if you can’t tie them – it’s just for show anyway, right?
Heat your grill or broiler.
Drizzle a generous coating of olive oil over the corn.
Season both sides of the corn with salt and pepper.
When the grill is ready, grill the corn on an open flame until the side down is gently roasted.
About 3-5 mins, depending on the intensity of your fire.
Turn the corn and grill the other sides.
When all sides of the corn are grilled to your satisfaction, remove from heat.
Cover the corn with a generous coat of grated parmesean and a big pinch of paprika.
Serve P R O N T O.
This is sooooo easy I almost feel bad for calling this an actual recipe but you guys this is soooooooo fucking good!!
So should you decide to try this – whatever you do, do not skip the paprika.
It is fucking CRITICAL.

SOOOOOOOO LOVELY doll, makes me dream of summer, but spring has been good to us in paris this year, some days at 15°C and some at 25°C … 🙂
Yes yes yessss!!
And happy Easter to you too handsome ❤
Looks so good. I love me some corn. ❤
Ugh Right!!?!
This is my absolute favorite way to have corn – so make it a tad unhealthy, I slap some mayo or sour cream on it before adding the cheese and paprika… kind of like a glue. And corn is on sale right now so I’m jumping on this!
Zully!!!!!!
Haiiiiiii!!!!
Girl I know I don’t have to tell you about how to prepare corn, I would take lessons from you 😀
Happy Easter!!
Beautiful pictures, Dana! And no. It’s still freezing here.
Awww I’m sorry 😦
Looks so good Dana! I can’t wait for our fresh southern NJ corn to harvest!!! My stomach is growling just thinking about it! 😊
nom nom nom nom nom!!
Hi Dana! This corn looks delicious! I am looking forward to cooking some soon. Do you have a grill? I don’t. Will the broiler give me that same color and char? Hope you have more sweet dreams like this dish 😊
Hi lady love!
The broiler will give you everything the same except you may not have the taste of it being roasted over firewood or coals.
SOmething about being cooked over open heat makes the taste, to me, stand out.
Other than that, it’s going to be very delicious for you and I really hope you try it because it’s soooo easy!
I agree, for many things a grill is best. Nothing is quite the same. But since I can’t have one here I will try the broiler because it just looks so good!
I get it, I often have to use my broiler in place of a grill because I don’t have one either haha!
Well the good news is that warmer weather = more grill access at friends’ places, etc. Enjoy your weekend!
You too lady love, treat yourself this weekend❤
Thanks ❤
I need this! NOW!
do it do it do it do it!
You make me dream of summer with this post! I agree, the paprika is a must. ❤
Summmmmerrrrrrrrrrr!!!
Come onnnnnn!!!
Gorgeous pics, actually looks like summer! I got corn on the cob for a shoot yesterday, it was peaches and cream, after I cut all the kernels off I had to pick out all the cream coloured ones! WTF?
Wow, this looks amazing! I’ve always wanted to try this. I’ll have to make this soon 🙂
You’ll do yourself a great service to make this.
It’s such a great alternative for a healthy snack!
I feel like paprika should pop up more often in food. Why do salt and pepper get all the every day glory? Why are we saving the paprika for special occasions?
London has just had the best, warm sunshiney weather. But it’s Easter long weekend now, so of course that’s turning to rain and misery.
Noooooooooooooooooo
Boooooooooooooooooooooo1!!
I wanna visit London again but I may just have to pass through- yall weather is shiiiiiiiit.
You know what? It’s actually been better than predicted. No rain! Which is good because I’m actually emerging from all the Easter Egg wrappers today and heading outside…
Haha!! Ready to start spreading those wings? Get some movement out of those legs girl, emerge!!
I would like to try this as soon as i can get my hands on some corn. You have left me drooling. I can imagine how great that tastes. I love Parmesan and I love pepper and paprika.
Oh goodness Liz, this is tops!!
Do it to it when you get that corn!
Hope you are having a wonderful weekend ❤ ❤ ❤
Looks FIRE!
Yes thank you! It is a great snack as a healthy alternative and is sooo yummy!!
Oh, you’ve got me drooling :)- I can’t wait to start eating some corn again! Hurry up summer!

Do they sell corn year round around you? Or is it a seasonal food?
Some cities only get it if it’s in season which can be so limiting 😑😑
Over here it’s seasonal, unless you want the frozen kind👎🏾 By June we usually have some imported from the u.s and then later thru summer local farmers will their crops.
Blah! We should grow an indoor farm 🌽🍆🌶🍐🍋🍊🍎
Here we don’t have corn yet, but I straight away felt a strong urge to find it somewhere, haha 🙂
Happy weekend!
Haha! I can’t wait till you get corn!!
So… I almost took a bite out of my phone looking at the pictures! Not corn season here yet, which is a shame. Oh this looks good!
Haha!! That’s awesome thank you!
And thank you for stopping by and visiting my blog!!
Love the look of this corn and that adorable photo of you Cake.
