Ingredients
Instructions
-
Prepare the cornStand each ear of corn vertically on a cutting board and carefully cut down the center with a sharp knife, splitting it in half. Place each half flat-side down and cut down the middle again to create quarters. Each ear will yield 4 'ribs'.
-
Season the cornIn a large bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, and cayenne (if using). Add the corn rib pieces and toss until evenly coated with the spice mixture.
-
Cook the corn ribsPreheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the corn ribs on a baking sheet, cut side down. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges begin to caramelize and the corn curls up slightly, resembling ribs. Alternatively, grill over medium-high heat for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally.
-
Prepare the sauceWhile the corn is cooking, mix together the mayonnaise and sour cream in a small bowl. Set aside.
-
Assemble and garnishTransfer the hot corn ribs to a serving plate. Drizzle with the mayo-sour cream mixture, then sprinkle generously with cotija cheese and chopped cilantro. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the corn.
