Smokin Hot Caribbean Spiced Corn On The Cob #SundaySupper

Fresh grilled corn laced with aromatic spices and a dash of citrus are a welcome addition to any cook-out! What food is “more synonymous” with summer than freshly picked corn on the cob? With my  #SundaySupper team indulging in a “labor day” cook-out theme I jumped right in! One of the reasons I love summer is cookouts and barbeques. Most of our summer dinners are outdoor grilled and the added bonus is that the cooking is done by the ‘grill master’ and that is definitely NOT me! I do prep the dishes though, as in marinate the meats and make the salads but the actual cooking on the grill is of course, the man of the house and it suits me just fine! Nice Summer break! Corn on the cob is always a popular dish in our home and I look for ways to spice up the corn. So here goes for a sure hit! Grill the corn and while it’s still smoking hot, dip a wedge of orange or lemon in olive oil and then dip it into a plate of aromatic spices and rub it into the corn. I used a spice mix of paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic salt and fresh pepper. You can be creative with your spice mix and customize it to your family tastes. My youngest doesn’t like much spice so I add a little brown sugar to hers to make it sweet and just a teeny bit hot. The more you rub the spice mix in, the stronger flavored it is! Cut into bite size pieces, stick a tooth pick in, serve with a mint yogurt dip for an amazing appetizer !

Nutrition Wise !

Yellow corn has the antioxidant carotenoids and high concentrations of lutein and zeaxanthin. Nutrients good for the eyes! It is  also a good source of fiber. Extra Virgin Olive Oil ( EVOO) is loaded with heart healthy mono unsaturated fatty acids and is a valuable source of polyphenols . Spices are chockfull of antioxidants and add so much to any dish!
