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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Lightly spray the corn ribs with olive oil spray on all sides, ensuring a thin and even coating.
Step 5
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the corn ribs, pressing gently to help it stick.
Step 6
Place the seasoned corn ribs on the prepared baking sheet, cut side down, ensuring they are spaced out to allow even cooking.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Remove the corn ribs from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
