Making the best blackened corn is an easy process. Use a sharp knife to chop the fresh sweet corn into half.

In a small bowl, melt butter and prepare the blackened seasoning rub by combining the butter, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, thyme, chopped basil and cilantro.

Brush this mixture over the corn on all sides.

In an iron skillet over medium heat, heat oil and place corn directly into the skillet on the stovetop, and turn the corn around when it starts to get brown-black.

Make sure you don’t move the corn too much, and allow it to get that perfect charred flavor on all the sides.

Serve the grilled corn on a plate with lemon wedges and enjoy!
