Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears corn on the cob
- 1 small bottle olive oil spray
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 pieces lime wedges
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the corn by cutting each ear into quarters lengthwise to create rib-like shapes. To do this, place the ear of corn standing upright on a cutting board and carefully use a sharp knife to slice down through the center, then halve each section once more.
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Lightly spray the corn ribs with olive oil spray on all sides, ensuring a thin and even coating.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the corn ribs, pressing gently to help it stick.
Place the seasoned corn ribs on the prepared baking sheet, cut side down, ensuring they are spaced out to allow even cooking.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the edges of the corn are golden and slightly curled into a rib-like shape.
Remove the corn ribs from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
