Sweetcorn Ribs Recipe

 

Ingredients:

  • 6 whole corn cobs
  • ½ cup olive oil                  
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika                       
  • 1 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 limes   
  • Bunch of coriander 
  • Hot sauce of your choice
  • Vegan mayo - we used Follow Your Heart’s Vegenaise

 

Method:

Preheat oven to 210C or fire up the barbeque if using.

Peel the cobs. Stand one on its flat end and slice down the length of the corn, through the stalk. Be careful! Do this again through each half until you have 4 ribs then repeat with the other cobs.

Mix all the dry ingredients together with the olive oil. Drizzle the mix over the corn cobs and mix really well.

Spread on a baking tray and bake at the top of hot oven for approx. 20 mins. If cooking on the barbeque put straight on the grill and rotate occasionally.

When corn cobs have caramelised, curled and crisped remove from heat and place on a serving dish. Drizzle with juice of one lime and your choice of hot sauce.

Garnish with fresh coriander and lime wedges and serve with creamy, vegan dipping sauce – we used Vegenaise vegan mayo.
