Corn Ribs with Cilantro-Jalapeño Ranch Sauce

Instructions

1. 1

   With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) (see note). Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a pot of salted boiling water, cook the corn pieces for 7 minutes. Drain. Pat very dry and let cool.

3. 3

   In a small bowl, combine the oil, brown sugar, chili powder, paprika, onion powder and salt.

4. 4

   On a work surface (see note), place one piece of corn vertically. Using a sharp chef’s knife, cut the piece of corn in half. Place each corn half, cut-side down, and cut into two wedges. Repeat with the remaining pieces of corn. Place the corn wedges on the baking sheet.

5. 5

   Using a pastry brush, cover the corn wedges with the spice mixture. Bake for 30 minutes or until tender, turning the corn over halfway through.
