Ingredients

Scale

For the Corn Ribs:

  • 4 ears of corn, husked and cleaned
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Aleppo chili flakes (or substitute with smoked paprika for less heat)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

For the Lime Zest Cream Cheese:

  • 8 oz vegan cream cheese (or regular if not vegan)
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup (optional for a slight sweetness)

Instructions

Prepare the Corn Ribs:

  1. Cut the Corn into Ribs: Stand each ear of corn upright on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut each ear of corn into 4 wedges (like quarters), creating the “ribs.” You may need to trim the ends of the corn to make them more stable for cutting.
  2. Season the Corn Ribs: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, Aleppo chili flakes, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and lime juice. Brush this mixture generously over the corn ribs, ensuring they are well-coated.

Prepare the Lime Zest Cream Cheese:

  1. Mix the Cream Cheese: In a small bowl, combine vegan cream cheese, lime zest, lime juice, and sea salt. Mix until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a touch of sweetness, add a teaspoon of maple syrup and stir to combine.

Cook the Corn Ribs:

  1. Cook the Corn on the Grill or Oven:
    • Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the corn ribs directly on the grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the corn is tender and slightly charred.
    • Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the corn ribs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.

Assemble the Dish:

  1. Plate the Corn Ribs: Once the corn ribs are cooked, arrange them on a serving platter.
  2. Serve with Lime Zest Cream Cheese: Dollop or drizzle the lime zest cream cheese over the corn ribs, or serve it on the side for dipping.
