Description
Grilled corn ribs highlight fresh corn’s natural sweetness with bold smoky, savory notes from a garlic-herb butter blend. These charred, caramelized ribs add vibrant texture to summer meals or shine as a standalone side.
Ingredients
4 ears fresh corn on the cob
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 fresh lime
Instructions
Scrub corn under running water to remove silks and debris
Wrap ears tightly in damp paper towels and microwave for 3-4 minutes
Cut corn off the cob into 1-inch segments, discarding any tough stems
In a small bowl, mix melted butter, olive oil, paprika, and garlic powder
Toss corn ribs in the seasoned mixture until coated
Heat a grill to medium-high heat and grill corn ribs for 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally for even charring
Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and finish with fresh lime juice
Notes
Use fresh corn with plump kernels for best results
Adjust grilling time based on flame intensity to avoid burning
For vegan option, omit butter and use neutral oil and nutritional yeast instead
