Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears fresh corn on the cob
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 1 lime lime wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up.
Carefully shuck the corn, removing all husks and silks. Rinse with water and pat dry.
Using a sharp knife, stand each ear of corn on its end and slice lengthwise into quarters to form rib-like pieces. This might require a bit of strength as the core is tough.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to form a spice mixture.
Place the corn ribs on the prepared baking sheet and brush generously with the spice mixture, ensuring all sides are well coated.
Roast the corn ribs in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through. They should become slightly curled and golden brown.
While the corn ribs are roasting, finely chop the fresh cilantro and cut the lime into wedges.
Once roasted, remove the corn ribs from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
Enjoy these spicy corn ribs as a fun side dish or appetizer!
