Print Recipe

A quick and flavorful snack or side dish featuring grilled corn ribs coated in a sweet and spicy honey butter glaze, finished with a tangy chili lime crema.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ears corn on the cob, husked and cleaned
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

Instructions

  1. Cut the corn into ribs: Stand each ear of corn upright and slice it lengthwise into 3 to 4 long strips, about 1 to 1.5 inches wide.
  2. Make the honey butter glaze: In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter, honey, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Stir until smooth.
  3. Prepare the chili lime crema: In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, lime juice, ground cumin, and chopped cilantro. Adjust lime juice and salt to taste. Chill in the fridge.
  4. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (around 400°F).
  5. Brush corn ribs generously with honey butter glaze.
  6. Grill corn ribs flat on the grates for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown with some charred edges, brushing with more glaze halfway through.
  7. Remove from grill, arrange on a platter, drizzle with chili lime crema, and garnish with extra cilantro or chili powder if desired.

Notes

Use plant-based butter and dairy-free yogurt to make vegan and dairy-free. Adjust chili powder for heat preference. If no grill, roast in oven at 425°F for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway. Keep knives sharp for clean cuts. Watch for flare-ups due to honey dripping.
