Tender, juicy corn ribs roasted until lightly charred and coated in bold taco seasoning, finished with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime. These fun, smoky bites are perfect as a side dish or crowd-pleasing appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ears fresh corn on the cob, husked and cut lengthwise into quarters
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Lime wedges from 1 lime, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the corn ribs with olive oil, taco seasoning, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange the corn ribs in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet without overlapping.
  4. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and charred around the edges.
  5. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro.
  6. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top just before serving.
  7. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • Microwave corn for 2 minutes before cutting to make slicing easier.
  • Use a sharp, sturdy knife and steady pressure when cutting corn lengthwise.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to allow proper charring.
  • For extra char, broil for the last 2 minutes while watching closely.
