Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Preparing the Sweetcorn Ribs: Carefully slice each ear of corn lengthwise into 3 or 4 equal wedges (these are the 'ribs'). The natural curvature of the corn should allow them to sit like ribs.
- In a medium bowl, toss the corn ribs with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated. Spread them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are slightly charred and the corn is tender and caramelized. If you prefer them crispier, finish briefly under the broiler for 1-2 minutes (watch carefully to prevent burning).
- While the corn roasts, prepare the dressing: Whisk together the lime juice, mayonnaise (or aioli), maple syrup, minced garlic, and sriracha in a small bowl until smooth and well combined.
- Once the corn ribs are cooked, transfer them to a serving platter. Drizzle generously with the lime chilli dressing and sprinkle with fresh chopped coriander before serving immediately.
Notes
For an extra smoky flavour, you can grill these instead of baking. Ensure corn is cut evenly so it cooks uniformly. Do not over-roast, as the natural sugars can burn quickly.
