Ingredients

4 - 6 cobs of corn shucked
Optional for serving: vegan butter, salt & pepper, chopped fresh cilantro or parsley

Corn Spice Blend Recipe (optional):

1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
⅛ teaspoon cayenne (optional for spice)

Instructions

To Boil the Corn:

Fill a large pot with roughly 16 cups (4 litres) of water. Place the pot over high heat, cover it with a lid, and bring to a boil. Once the water reaches a rolling boil, add the shucked corn cobs, cover the pot again, and turn off the heat. Let the corn sit in the hot water for a minimum of 10 minutes and up to 30 minutes. The corn will keep perfectly while you prepare the rest of your dinner!

To Make the Corn Spice Blend:

Add paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne to a small bowl or jar. Mix or shake well, then sprinkle over the corn before enjoying. Store any leftover spice blend in a sealed jar in your pantry for next time.

To Serve the Corn:

When ready to serve the corn, use tongs to remove the cobs from the pot and transfer them to a serving dish. Optionally, you can serve the corn with vegan butter, salt and pepper, cilantro or parsley, and a generous sprinkle of the corn spice blend. Enjoy!
