  • After heating the grill, add corn ribs and cook until charred, 8 to 10 minutes. Flip, continuing to cook until charred on the opposite side. The corn will begin to curl to form an arched shape like a rib. Continue to brush corn ribs with garlic butter as they cook for maximum flavor.

Notes

  • 16 ribs feeds about 4-5 people.
  • Try serving these corn ribs with an alternative seasoning like Mexican street corn seasoning!
  • You can make corn ribs in the oven by baking them for about 30 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit, but keep in mind all ovens are different. The corn ribs will curl like ribs into an arch shape when they are ready. Broil them on high for 1-2 minutes for a char.
