Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set it aside while you prepare the corn.
Mix Seasoning: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, olive oil, kosher salt, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.
Prepare Corn Ribs: On a large cutting board, cut each ear of corn in half lengthwise, then cut each half into two 2-inch-wide sections, creating rib-like pieces.
Arrange Ribs: Place the corn ribs cut side down in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
Brush with Seasoning: Generously brush the seasoned butter mixture over each corn rib, coating all sides for maximum flavor.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the corn ribs are golden brown, tender, and crispy on the edges.
Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with additional butter, freshly chopped parsley, and your choice of dipping sauces for an extra burst of flavor.

Notes

For extra crispiness, flip the corn ribs halfway through baking.
Try adding a sprinkle of chili powder or cayenne for a spicy kick.
These corn ribs make a great appetizer or side dish for summer barbecues and parties.
Use fresh corn on the cob for the best flavor and texture.
Leftovers can be reheated in the oven to retain crispiness.
