Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Cut corn cobs in half lengthwise, then in half again to have quarters. Line the quartered corn cobs onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not touching.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk to combine the olive oil, lime juice, paprika, garlic powder and salt. Whisk together to combine, then brush generously onto the cobs.
- Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven on the center rack and bake for 25 minutes, until crispy.
- Sauce: While corn ribs are baking, whisk together all sauce ingredients until smooth. Place into the fridge to let the flavors meld together while the corn cobs are baking.
- Once baked, remove corn ribs from the oven and top with parmesan and chives. Serve immediately with the sauce.
Notes
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
Reheat: To reheat, just throw them back into the oven at 350°F until warmed and crispy.
Seasoning: Experiment with different seasonings to customize the flavor of your dinner. Pre-mixed seasonings like Cajun seasoning, Montreal Chicken seasoning, and other seasoning blends would be great here! I have also been known to sprinkle them with tajin.
Baking Time: Adjust the cooking time to achieve your desired level of crispiness. A shorter baking time will yield more tender, juicy corn, while a longer baking time will dry the corn out and make it chewier.
Grilling Option: For added smokiness, try grilling instead of baking. You can do this on your outdoor grill, or even on a grill pan.
