Corn ribs are a top-notch eating experience!! Seasoned juicy corn kernels and garlic butter bursting in your mouth with every bite in a way you’ll never get with whole corn cobs. Epic app or side dish, ideal for the BBQ or make these in your oven!
Corn ribs
Named as such because of the rib-like shape and the manner in which it is eaten (like ribs!), corn ribs are apparently a food trend that went nuts a couple of years ago. I’m so unfashionable when it comes to anything – food, fashion, or otherwise – I didn’t even realise this was a trend until I started writing this post today and did my usual obligatory Google research!
Also, truthfully, I find most food trends disappoint. This one, however, did not!
What you need for corn ribs
Here’s what you need to make corn ribs. Firstly, corn. Yes, corn!
Whole corn on the cob. At its prime in summer, albeit the mild climate here in Australia means we get good corn year round, and generally for very good value too.
AND FOR ALL THE FLAVOUR…
Seasoning – smoked paprika (or plain), garlic powder, salt and pepper. For tossing the corn. There’s a generous amount for the amount of corn because so much of it gets stuck on the cut side of the corn! Trust me on this. You want a LOT of seasoning!
Garlic and butter – for dousing at the end. Dream of all that butter seeping in between the kernels….
Parsley, coriander/cilantro, chives or something else green finely chopped, for optional garnish.
Sauce for corn ribs
As I ranted on at the start, this method of cooking corn means the cobs soak up all the seasoned garlic butter, so there’s stacks of juicy flavour in every bite. So if you’re serving these hot and fresh, there is absolutely no need for sauce.
However! If you are a sauce person (I get it), or if you are making a huge pile of these ahead to serve as apps and want to pep them up a bit by providing a sauce, here are some sauce options:
Creamy Sriracha Dipping sauce – (mayo + yogurt + sriracha or ketchup). The freshness of the yogurt pairs well with the buttery goodness and sweetness of the corn. Recipe is in the notes of the recipe card.
Avocado Sauce – dead set perfect match with the seasoning on this corn! Also, corn plus avocado =
Plain ketchup or Aussie tomato sauce.
Chipotle mayo – Blitz chipotle in adobo with sour cream + mayo. Add lime and salt to taste.
2tbspparsley or coriander/cilantro, roughly chopped (optional garnish)
SEASONING:
1 1/2tspgarlic powder
2 1/2tspsmoked paprika(or ordinary), plus more for garnish if desired
2tspcooking/kosher salt
2tspblack pepper
GARLIC BUTTER:
50g/ 3 tbsp unsalted butter
1garlic clove, finely minced
Instructions
CORN CUTTING (NOTE 1 TIPS!):
Cut corn – Using a sharp knife and a non-slip cutting board, cut off the base and the pointy end of the corn. Stand the corn upright then cut the corn into half then half again to make quarters. My way: Bang the knife with your hand to lock it into the top of the corn, then keep hitting the knife to move it down the corn. Halfway, you might be able to stop banging and just rock the knife down.
Easiest method – Cut half length ribs. Shorter ribs = easier to cut. See note 2.
COOKING:
BBQ (best!) or oven – Heat BBQ on high or oven 200°C/375°F (180°C fan).
Garlic butter – Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Then add the garlic and cook for 20 seconds until it smells amazing! Remove from the stove and keep warm/liquid (I usually put it on the side of the BBQ).
Seasoning – mix in a small bowl.
Season corn – Place corn in a large bowl. Toss with olive oil. Then sprinkle the seasoning over gradually, tossing in between, to coat as evenly as possible. Most will get stuck in the cob – tasty "bone" sucking!
BBQ – Place corn on the BBQ kernel side down. Cook for 8 minutes or until you get charred spots – watch it curl into "ribs"! Then cook each cut side for 1 minute.
Oven – Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, kernel side up. (Note: the corn doesn't curl as much, also, no charred spots).
Butter it – Transfer corn back into the bowl. Pour over garlic butter and toss.
Serve – Pile onto plate, sprinkle with parsley then grab and eat like ribs! Optional pink sauce pictured in notes. Don't forget to suck all the seasoned garlic butter from the cob "bone" – it might be the best part.
Recipe Notes:
1. Corn cutting safety notes! Put a wet cloth under the cutting board to make it non-slip. Use a sharp kitchen knife. If yours is blunt, don’t make this – it’s too risky. Make whole corn instead. Do NOT hold the corn upright with your hand under the knife. The knife jerks down fast when you cut down – you don’t want to lose a finger!Corn breakage? Doesn’t matter! Still delicious 2. Easier method – Cut shorter ribs. Lie the corn on its side and cut it in half to create 2 shorter pieces. Then stand upright and cut into quarters. Much easier than cutting full length corns!3. Pictured creamy Sriracha Sauce – 2 tsp sriracha + 1/4 cup each mayo + yogurt (or just yogurt) + pinch of salt.4. Leftovers will keep for 3 to 4 days in the fridge. Don’t think freezing is ideal, feel like there will be too much loss of quality.

Palestinian teens killed in accidental blast while handling explosives
Islamic Jihad names fatalities in Balata refugee camp, day after group claimed credit for Jenin roadside bomb that wounded Israeli troops
Masked Palestinians march in Balata
At least two Palestinian teens were killed late Tuesday when explosives they were handling accidentally blew up near Nablus in the restive northern West Bank
The Islamic Jihad terror group announced the deaths in a statement of condolence Tuesday, a day after claiming responsibility for a massive roadside bomb that wounded eight soldiers.
The two fatalities were named by the group as 17-year-old Mohammed Hashah and 18-year-old Alaa Hafnawi. A third person was critically wounded in the blast, according to Palestinian media.
The explosion took place in the Balata refugee camp, a cramped warren of buildings and alleys adjacent to Nablus. Along with Jenin, the city has been the focus of a year-long military offensive focused on stemming terror emanating from the northern West Bank.
On Monday, troops who entered Jenin to arrest a pair of Palestinian suspects were caught in intense clashes, during which they were targeted by explosive devices, including a large roadside bomb that hit a military jeep, according to the Israel Defense Forces.
The local Islamic Jihad wing, known as the Jenin Battalion, claimed its members had detonated explosive devices near IDF vehicles and then targeted them with gunfire.
The IDF said that “as the security forces exited the city, a military vehicle was hit by an explosive device, damaging the vehicle.”
Footage shared by Palestinian media outlets showed the roadside bomb being detonated next to Israeli army vehicles that were engulfed in smoke. Another clip showed the IDF vehicles coming under fire. Gunfire and explosions could be heard across the city in other clips shared online.
Eight soldiers and Border Police officers were wounded in the roadside blast and gunfire, the IDF and police said. The IDF deployed a helicopter gunship for air cover to evacuate the wounded troops — the first time in decades that air strikes were launched against the West Bank.
Last month, Palestinians in Nablus set off a large makeshift explosive device against an Israeli military convoy that was wrapping up an operation, lightly injuring one soldier.
Footage published online showed the bomb exploding as an army jeep passed a makeshift roadblock set up by Palestinians.
The Nablus-based Lion’s Den terror group claimed responsibility for setting off the bomb, as well as opening fire on troops as they left the city following an arrest raid.

The boys kicked the food displays and eventually jumped over the counter to get to the cash register.
After kicking it several times, a teen ran out of the restaurant with the cash register.
The cash register was then thrown on the ground and busted open, with the teens surrounding it to take the cash.
The restaurant's manager Teron Liggins told Fox11 he had just left his shift before the madness happened.
One teenager has been taken into custody in connection to the incident, per the local news outlet.
'It got a little hot for a second and it was a lot of people crowded together and everybody created, you know, some type of animosity,' the manager said.
'That's unfortunate for sure. I'm also a man of God. So, you know, I try not to fear anything but God. But at the same time, you got to be smart. You got to be cautious.'
