Corn Ribs Instructions:

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the barbecue to medium-high heat and oil the grill.

  2. Step 2

    On a cutting board, stand a piece of corn vertically. Using a sharp chef’s knife, cut the corn in half. Place each half cut-side down, then slice into quarters. Repeat with the remaining corn.

  3. Step 3

    In a large bowl, mix the olive oil, spices, salt, and pepper. Add the corn pieces and toss well to coat them evenly.

  4. Step 4

    Grill the corn ribs on the barbecue for about 4 to 5 minutes per side.

Spicy Sauce Instructions:

  1. Step 1

    In a small bowl, mix all the sauce ingredients together.

  2. Step 2

    Serve alongside the corn ribs with the remaining toppings.
