Peel back the corn husks (do not pull them off entirely) and remove the silks from each ear of corn. Rub each ear of corn with about 1 teaspoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Pull the corn husks back up around the kernels. Brush the red onion rounds and jalapeño with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Place the corn, onion, and jalapeño directly on the grill grates. Close the lid and cook, turning and flipping occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and charred in spots, about 15 minutes for the jalapeño and about 25 minutes for the onion and corn. As each vegetable is cooked, transfer it to a rimmed baking sheet to cool completely.
