Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ears of corn, husked
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise

- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder

- Salt to taste
- Optional: extra chili powder, lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cut each ear of corn lengthwise into quarters, creating ‘ribs’.
- Brush the corn ribs with olive oil and season with salt.
- Grill or roast the corn ribs for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and lightly charred.

- Once the corn is cooked, brush the mayonnaise mixture evenly over the corn ribs.
- Return to the grill or oven for another 2-3 minutes, until the topping is heated through and slightly browned.
