Ingredients

6 whole corn cobs, husks removed

1 tablespoon chili powder

2 ounces Parmesan cheese, finely grated

1 tablespoon smoked paprika

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Small handful of cilantro, finely chopped

Directions

1. Prepare a grill for high heat.

2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Boil the corn until cooked, 5 to 15 minutes (the timing depends on how young and tender the corn is). Drain and place the corn on the hot barbecue. Rotate until evenly charred, 5 to 7 minutes.

3. In a bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, lime juice and chili powder. Spread the mixture onto the corn, coating the cobs with a thin, even layer.

4. Scatter the Parmesan and smoked paprika on a baking sheet and then roll the cobs in the mixture to coat. Season with salt and pepper, and top with the cilantro.
