For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the chili powder mixture. If you don't have a grill, you can roast the corn in a 400°F oven for approximately 30 minutes, turning halfway through. Feel free to adjust the amount of chili powder to your preference. For a milder flavor, use 1 teaspoon, or for a spicier kick, increase to 3 teaspoons. Ensure that the grill is preheated to the correct temperature to achieve the best char and flavor.
