Ingredients
4 cobs of corn, each cut into 4 ribs
⅓ cup butter (salted butter works fine)
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 pinch red chili flakes
1 tablespoon parsley, finely chopped
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Cut each cob of corn into 4 ribs: stand the cob upright on the wide end after trimming the stem end to stabilize. Cut the cob lengthwise in half, then each half in half again to get 4 ribs.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Simmer corn ribs for 2-3 minutes.
- Melt butter in a microwave-safe bowl or saucepan. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute to mellow the flavor.
- Stir in lemon juice, red chili flakes, freshly ground black pepper, and Parmesan cheese.
- Drain the corn ribs and smother with the Parmesan-garlic butter mixture.
- Serve warm and enjoy digging in!
Notes
Add smoked paprika or cayenne for smoky, spicy kick.
Substitute Parmesan with Pecorino Romano for sharper flavor.
Sprinkle extra fresh herbs like basil or thyme for an herbal twist.
Grill the corn ribs after boiling for added char and flavor.
