smoky corn ribs

These corn ribs make a delightful snack or a great side to a summer BBQ. All you need is corn on the cob, a good knife and a few spices.

HOW TO MAKE CORN RIBS

The hardest part is cutting the corn into strips. You will need a very sharp knife and a hard surface. I have to admit, I always ask my husband to cut them for me as he is somewhat stronger than I am.

I like the corn cut into quarters, lengthwise. You can cut it into strips in whichever way work for you. Be very careful though!

Next, these corn ribs need to brushed all over with the smoky marinade, before baking them in the oven.

I have given a cooking time of 20 - 25min, but you can cook it longer if you wish. I prefer cooking mine a bit longer as like charred and crispy edges. Placing them under the grill for a few minutes will do the job too! I have not tried it yet, but I am sure placing them on a BBQ grill for a few minutes will do the same trick.

Serve them hot with your favourite dipping sauce, a few fresh lemon or lime wedges and fresh herbs if you desire.
