A quick and easy summer snack featuring fresh corn ribs coated in a creamy chili lime sauce and topped with a crispy parmesan crust. Perfect for backyard gatherings and potlucks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ears fresh corn on the cob, husked and cut into quarters lengthwise
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • Juice of 1 large lime
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Olive oil or cooking spray, for brushing or spraying
  • Optional: A handful of fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. Husk 4 ears of fresh corn and cut each ear into quarters lengthwise to create ribs.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup mayonnaise, juice of 1 lime, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until smooth.
  4. Using a brush or spoon, generously coat each corn rib with the creamy chili lime sauce.
  5. Sprinkle 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the coated corn ribs and press gently to adhere.
  6. Lightly brush or spray the ribs with olive oil or cooking spray to encourage browning and crispiness.
  7. Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping the ribs halfway through to ensure even cooking and crust formation.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes.
  9. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro if desired and serve warm.

Notes

Use fresh lime juice for best flavor. Flip the corn ribs halfway through roasting to ensure even crispiness. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese is recommended for a better crust. Can be grilled over medium heat for 10-12 minutes as an alternative cooking method. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheat in the oven at 375°F for 5-7 minutes to restore crispiness. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.
