Ingredients

4 ears of corn, husked

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)

Salt and black pepper to taste

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 lime, zested and juiced

1/4 cup cotija cheese (or feta), crumbled (optional)

Chili powder for dusting (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your grill or oven to 400°F (200°C).

Cut each ear of corn into thirds to create ribs. Stand the corn upright and slice downwards into sections.

In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to form a spice mix.

Brush the corn rib pieces with the olive oil mixture, making sure each piece is evenly coated.

Place the corn ribs on the grill or in the oven on a baking sheet. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are charred and tender.

While the corn is cooking, mix the chopped cilantro, lime zest, and lime juice in a small bowl.

Once the corn ribs are cooked, remove them from the heat and drizzle the cilantro-lime mixture over them. If using, sprinkle with cotija cheese and a dusting of chili powder for extra flavor.

Serve hot and enjoy the colorful and zesty corn ribs!
