Ingredients
  

Corn Ribs
  • 4 ears Fresh Corn on the Cob Husked
  • 1 tablespoon Neutral Oil e.g., canola or vegetable
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
Spicy Korean Mayo Glaze
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise Full fat recommended
  • 2 tablespoons Gochujang Korean chili paste
  • 1 tablespoon Honey
  • 1 teaspoon Rice Vinegar
  • 1 clove Garlic Minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sesame Oil
Garnish (Optional)
  • 1 tablespoon Toasted Sesame Seeds
  • 2 tablespoons Scallions Thinly sliced

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare the corn ribs: Slice each ear of corn lengthwise into quarters, being careful to keep the cob pieces roughly the same size. This process can be difficult; use a sharp, heavy knife and angle the cuts so you get long, relatively flat strips of kernels. Toss the corn pieces with 1 tablespoon of neutral oil and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
  3. Roast the corn: Arrange the corn pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, flip them over, and bake for an additional 10 minutes until they start to soften and brown slightly.
  4. While the corn roasts, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, gochujang, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and sesame oil until completely smooth and well combined.
  5. Glaze and finish: Remove the corn from the oven. Brush half of the spicy mayo glaze generously over all sides of the corn ribs. Return the corn to the oven and bake for 5 more minutes.
  6. Serve immediately, drizzling the remaining glaze over the top of the finished ribs. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced scallions.

Notes

For an extra crispy texture, you can briefly broil the ribs for the last 1-2 minutes after glazing, watching carefully to prevent burning the sauce.
