Cajun Corn Ribs

Recipe Lauren Benefer

Corn! In season, abundant, cheap, versatile, and now trending on TikTok. This recipe is perfect for your last of the summer BBQs or as a side dish to your taco Tuesday.

Ingredients

4 cobs of corn, husks removed

2 - 3 tbsp olive oil

SPICE MIX

3 tbsp smoked paprika

2 tbsp oregano

2 tsp dried thyme

3 tsp onion powder

3 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp ground black pepper

1 tsp chilli powder

1 tsp salt

TO SERVE

Your favourite sauce (aioli, chipotle mayo, lime sour cream, and smoky BBQ pair well)

Crumbled feta

Coriander

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees.

2. Mix the spices together in a small bowl. Set aside.

3. Using a sharp knife on a stable chopping board, cut the corn by standing it up vertically with the wider part against the chopping board. Chop in half, then chop those halves into quarters. Cutting it this way prevents squashed kernels and the corn rolling away while cutting it. You will end up with 4 - 8 pieces, depending on how big you want them.

4. Place the corn ribs in a large bowl. Add the oil and a few tablespoons of the spice mix. Stir to coat. Add more spice mix and/or oil if required.

5. Line a baking tray with baking paper and arrange the corn in a single layer. Cook for 25 - 30 minutes, or until the corn is slightly crisp and curled.

6. Top with your choice of sauce, the crumbled feta, and coriander. Eat hot!
