Ingredients
Scale
Seasoned Butter Mixture
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted, ¼ stick)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
Corn Ribs
- 3 ears fresh corn on the cob (shucked and silks removed)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
- Make Seasoning Mixture: In a small bowl, combine melted butter, olive oil, kosher salt, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well to create a flavorful seasoning blend.
- Cut Corn into Ribs: Place each ear of shucked corn on a large cutting board. Cut each ear in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 2-inch-wide sections to create ribs.
- Arrange Corn Ribs: Lay the corn ribs cut side down in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring even cooking and crisping.
- Brush with Seasoning: Generously brush the seasoned butter mixture over the top of each corn rib, coating all surfaces.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes, or until the corn ribs are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve with additional butter, freshly chopped parsley, and a dipping sauce of your choice for extra flavor.
Notes
- Ensure corn ribs are cut evenly for uniform cooking and crispiness.
- You can substitute kosher salt with sea salt if preferred.
- For extra crispiness, flip the ribs halfway through baking.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauces such as ranch, spicy mayo, or garlic aioli.
- Freshly chopped parsley adds a pop of color and freshness to the dish.
