Notes
- You can substitute olive oil for avocado oil if you prefer.
- For extra flavor, brush the corn with melted butter after grilling and sprinkle with fresh thyme.
- Turn the corn every 2–3 minutes while grilling to cook it evenly and get light char marks without burning.
- Leftover grilled corn can be cut off the cob and used in salads, salsas, dips, and casseroles.
