Ingredients
  

For the Corn Ribs
  • 4 pieces Fresh corn on the cob Choose plump, fresh corn for the best flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil For coating the corn.
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika For seasoning.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder For added flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt To taste.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Pepper To taste.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Shuck the fresh corn and remove the silk. Rinse the corn under cold water.
  2. Place the corn cob upright on a cutting board and slice it into quarters, creating rib-like pieces.
Seasoning

Cooking
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and grill the corn ribs for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until charred.
  2. Alternatively, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and roast the corn for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Finishing Touch

Serving
  1. Arrange the corn ribs on a platter and serve immediately while warm.
