Ingredients
For the corn ribs
- 4 cobs corn cut lengthways into quarters
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoon parsley finely chopped
- 0.5 lime lime zest and juice for finishing
For the garlic butter
- 4 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic freshly minced for deeper flavor
Instructions
Preparation
- Cut the corn cobs lengthwise into quarters to create the rib shape. While preparing the corn, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl and whisk together.
- Coat the corn quarters evenly with the olive oil, then toss them with the seasoning blend until every piece is well covered.
- Melt the butter in a small pan over medium heat, then add the minced garlic and cook for about 20 seconds, stirring constantly.
- For grilling: Heat your grill to high heat and place the corn cobs kernel-side down for 8 minutes, then flip and cook each cut side for 1 minute. For baking: Heat your oven to 200°C (375°F) and arrange the corn kernel-side up on a baking sheet, then bake for 25-30 minutes.
- While the corn is still warm, toss it with the garlic butter to coat evenly. Finish with a squeeze of lime juice and a sprinkle of lime zest, then top with finely chopped parsley.
Notes
Finishing with fresh lime cuts through the richness of the butter and adds a fresh pop that balances the smoky, savory flavors perfectly.
