Description

Ears of corn are served up street-vendor style with mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, and a dusting of chili powder. For even more flavor, roll or spray the corn with lime juice.

Ingredients

4 ears corn on the cob, husks and silk removed
1/4 cup mayonnaise (such as Hellmann's®/Best Foods®), or to taste - divided
1/4 cup margarine in a squeezable container, or to taste - divided
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste - divided
1 teaspoon chili powder, or to taste - divided

Directions

1 Bring a large pot of water to a boil and gently place ears of corn into the boiling water. Reduce heat to low and simmer until corn is very tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
2 Remove an ear of corn with tongs and spread about 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise all over the kernels. Squeeze about 1 tablespoon of margarine over the ear of corn in a zig-zag line, turning the ear as you squeeze. Generously sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the ear and dust with chili powder. Repeat with remaining ears of corn.
