Scale
Main Ingredients
- 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
- 3 ears fresh corn on the cob (shucked and silks removed)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set the prepared baking sheet aside for easy access.
- Prepare Seasoning: In a small bowl, thoroughly combine the melted butter, olive oil, kosher salt, ground paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder until well mixed and fragrant.
- Cut Corn: Place the shucked ears of corn on a large cutting board. Cut each ear lengthwise in half, then cut each half into 2-inch wide sections to form rib-like pieces.
- Arrange Corn Ribs: Lay the corn ribs on the parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer, positioning them with the cut side down to maximize crispiness.
- Brush with Seasoning: Generously brush the seasoned butter mixture over each corn rib, ensuring each piece is evenly coated with the flavorful blend.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes, or until the corn ribs turn golden brown and achieve a crispy texture.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the corn ribs from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with additional butter, freshly chopped parsley, and your preferred dipping sauce.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, ensure the corn is cut uniformly and spaced out on the baking sheet.
- Feel free to experiment with different seasonings like chili powder or smoked paprika for varied flavors.
- Serve with garlic aioli or spicy mayo for a delicious dipping option.
- Fresh parsley adds a bright, fresh note that complements the rich, buttery ribs.
- These corn ribs make a perfect appetizer or side for barbecues and casual meals.
