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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up.
Step 2
Carefully shuck the corn, removing all husks and silks. Rinse with water and pat dry.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Place the corn ribs on the prepared baking sheet and brush generously with the spice mixture, ensuring all sides are well coated.
Step 6
Roast the corn ribs in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through. They should become slightly curled and golden brown.
Step 7
While the corn ribs are roasting, finely chop the fresh cilantro and cut the lime into wedges.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Enjoy these spicy corn ribs as a fun side dish or appetizer!
