Lemon & Paprika Corn on the Cob

---

When corn season rolls around, you can find me nibbling away on one of these sticks of yellow gold easily a few times a week! They are just so incredibly delicious and so simple to make. Corn seems to have gained an unfavourable reputation for being carbohydrate heavy and starchy. But, as always and with anything, balance and portion control is key! It's full of fibre and vitamins like iron and magnesium, vitamin A, B2... The list goes on. Adding in the lemon juice and paprika adds even more health benefits too!

This is a really simple snack idea. It's a high fibre carbohydrate which means your body will burn it slower (it's kinder to your sugar levels!) It will keep you going! Try adding a delicious salad and you have yourself a very quick and easy Summer dinner for the family!

Ingredients

Serves: 1 

• 1 fresh sweet corn on the cob
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• Knob of butter (optional)
• ​Squeeze of lemon juice

How to

• Leaving the corn in its husk, microwave the corn. For one piece, 3 and 1/2 minutes should do nicely. For every extra piece you add into the microwave at the same time, add 2 minutes. 
• Let the corn sit for 5 minutes after it has been microwaved
• Using a tea towel, peel back the husk to reveal the corn (be careful as it will be very hot)
• Spread a small amount butter (optional), add a squeeze of lemon juice and sprinkle on the smoked paprika.  
• Enjoy!

Microwave times: 
1 piece = 3 and a 1/2 min 
2 pieces = 5 and 1/2 min
3 pieces = 7 and 1/2 min 
​... And so fourth.
​
Please be sure to keep an eye on the microwave as different microwaves have different strengths!
