Step 1
Shuck corn and stand each cob upright on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, slice lengthwise into 4 wedges per cob.
Step 2
Pat corn wedges dry with a paper towel to remove surface moisture.
Step 3
Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, about 1 minute.
Step 4
Add corn wedges and cook without moving for 3–4 minutes until the cut side turns golden brown.
Step 5
Flip and cook the other side another 2–3 minutes until caramelized and tender. Edges should look crispy.
Step 6
Transfer to a plate and sprinkle with salt and chili powder while still hot.
Step 7
Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top and serve immediately.
