Description
Spicy Corn Ribs with Chipotle Dip are a fun and flavorful twist on classic corn on the cob, cut into rib-like pieces, seasoned with smoky spices, and roasted to perfection. Served with a creamy chipotle dip, they make a perfect appetizer or snack.
Ingredients
- 2 ears of corn
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Carefully cut the corn into quarters lengthwise to create rib-like strips.
- In a small bowl, mix olive oil, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Brush the corn ribs with the seasoned oil mixture on all sides.
- Place the corn ribs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the corn curls and is nicely roasted.
- While the corn is roasting, prepare the chipotle dip by blending sour cream, chipotle pepper, and lime juice until smooth.
- Serve the hot corn ribs with the chipotle dip on the side.
Notes
- Be careful when cutting the corn — use a sharp knife and stable cutting board.
- You can grill the corn ribs instead of roasting for extra smoky flavor.
- Adjust the spice level by using more or less chipotle in the dip.
