Ingredients

  • 4 corn cobs I use pre-cut lengths (roughly 12cm/5") of corn available from the supermarket
  • 1½ tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¾ teaspoon fine salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 40 g unsalted butter melted
  • 2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated parmesan
  • chopped parsley optional - garnish

Instructions

To cut the corn
    Cup of Yum
  1. Please read section above "How to cut corn ribs" before proceeding*Using a stable cutting board, trim both ends of each cob so you have an even surface.*Stand the corn up on its widest end and centre your knife in the middle of the cob.*While holding the knife in one hand, place the flat of your other hand on the other side to put pressure on the blade then use a rocking, see-saw motion (tapping the corn on the bench to get through the tougher bits if you need it) to cut down through the corn.*Stand one of the cut halves on the board and repeat the process.
  2. Preheat oven to 210c.
  3. Line a baking tray with baking paper and set aside.
  4. In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper and set aside.
  5. Cut corn according to above instructions, then place in a large bowl.
  6. Drizzle corn with olive oil and turn to coat well.
  7. Gradually sprinkle over the spice mixture, tossing in between to coat evenly.
  8. Place corn on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20 - 25 minutes.
  9. *Optional Step* place cooked corn under the grill for a few minutes for extra colour/charring (optional - see my notes below).
  10. Combine melted butter and lemon juice in a small bowl then brush over cooked corn.
  11. Sprinkle with parmesan and chopped parsley (if using) and serve.

Notes

  • *Please note that the amount of calories per serve is provided as a guide only, as ingredients and cooking methods can vary greatly*
  • Don't worry if all your ribs don't cut into perfect quarters - that happens! Just toss them in with all the rest - they still taste awesome. You will also get a bit better with practice.
  • Using the grill is a great way to get a little more char on the corn without the BBQ. This is optional, they still taste really great without it.
