Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or prepare a grill over medium heat.
Carefully cut each corn on the cob into quarters, lengthwise, to create rib-like segments. A sharp, sturdy knife is recommended for this step.
Place the corn ribs onto a baking sheet, or if grilling, arrange them on the grill.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, honey, juice from the lime, salt, and black pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
Brush the prepared glaze over each corn rib generously.
If using an oven, bake the corn ribs for 15-20 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time, until they are charred and tender. If grilling, cook them for about the same amount of time, turning occasionally.
Once cooked, remove the corn ribs from the oven or grill and let them cool slightly.
Sprinkle the chili powder and freshly chopped cilantro over the corn ribs for a spicy and refreshing finish.
Serve warm as a delicious appetizer or side dish, and enjoy the sweet, tangy, and spicy flavors!
