Ingredients
- 6 ears of corn
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoon elote seasoning use storebought or combine ½ tsp. each chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder and salt.
- ½ cup of crumbled cotija cheese feta cheese can be used as a substitute
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 lime cut into wedges
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F with convection on.
- Place the corn ribs on a baking sheet and bake for 7 minutes.
- After 7 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and flip the corn ribs over.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 7-8 minutes until the corn ribs curl slightly.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the corn ribs cool slightly.
- To cut the corn cobs into fourths lengthwise, first cut off the ends of each cob so that it can stand on end. Then, use a chef's knife and a rubber mallet to gently tap the knife into the end of the cob. Continue to gently tap the end of the knife with the rubber mallet to work the knife through the cob to cut it into halves. Repeat with each half to cut each cob into four pieces. Repeat with remaining corn cobs until you get 16 ribs.
- In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, chili powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Arrange the corn ribs on a platter to resemble a rib cage. Drizzle the smoky mayo over the corn ribs, making sure to cover them evenly.
- Sprinkle crumbled cotija cheese over the corn ribs.
- Garnish the corn ribs with chopped cilantro, sliced jalapenos, and extra lime wedges. Top with a skull.
