Easy Corn Ribs (corn riblets)
Get ready for this mouthwatering side dish, Corn Ribs (corn riblets). The perfect summer recipe for any bbq, seasoned and baked with a crispy texture!
Ingredients
- 2 ears of corn
- 1 Tablespoon cooking oil I used avocado
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon cumin
- ¼ teaspoon oregano
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional, for spicy ribs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set to the side.
- Shuck the corn and remove the cornsilk. Cut the very end off of each end of the ear so you have a flat base to work with. Place the corn on a cutting board with the larger flat side down, then cut lengthwise. Place the corn pieces on the cutting board, flat sides down, then cut lengthwise again. This will give you four pieces per ear of corn.
- Mix together the oil and all the spices in a bowl. Use a pastry brush and coat the corn in the oil and spice mixture. Place on parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes. The corn ribs will be juicy and bursting with flavor. For crispier corn ribs, bake an additional 5 minutes.
- Top with cotija, tajin, and/or cilantro, if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- To Air Fry: Preheat air fryer to 400° and air fryer for 10-15 minutes, until desired crispness is achieved, flipping at minute 6.
- You can play around with spices to make them your own, but we highly recommend keeping the smoked paprika, it really levels up the ribs.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best results.
- We do not recommend freezing this recipe.
- Be liberal in spreading the sauce over the ribs. Feel free to let them marinate in the sauce for 15 minutes before baking for a more intense flavor.
