Spice up your life with these bold and hefty corn ribs that are as addictive as your favorite spicy TV show. Coated generously with Sriracha and smoked paprika, these ribs offer a kick that will keep you coming back for more. Perfect for a fiery appetizer or a side dish that dances off the plate!
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or fire up the grill.
Using a sharp knife, carefully cut each ear of corn into quarters lengthwise to form rib-like pieces.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Sriracha sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning as desired.
Using a brush, generously coat each corn rib with the spicy mixture, ensuring each piece is well covered.
Arrange the corn ribs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, or directly over the grill grates if grilling.
Bake or grill the corn ribs for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are tender and slightly charred.
Remove from heat and drizzle with lime juice while still warm.
Serve immediately, garnished with chopped cilantro if desired. Enjoy the fiery burst of flavor!
