Ingredients
  

4 ears of fresh corn

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/4 cup honey

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 tsp sea salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for a bit of heat)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Corn: Carefully slice the corn cobs in half lengthwise, then place them cut side down on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, slice each half into 3-4 rib-like pieces, depending on the size of the corn.

      Make the Honey Butter Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, honey, garlic powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Stir well until fully blended.

        Coat the Corn Ribs: Place the corn ribs in a large mixing bowl, then pour the honey butter mixture over them. Gently toss the ribs until they are fully coated in the honey butter.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Arrange the corn ribs in a single layer, ensuring they are spaced out evenly.

            Bake the Corn Ribs: Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the corn is tender and slightly caramelized. For an extra golden finish, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.

              Garnish and Serve: Remove the corn ribs from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Drizzle any remaining honey butter from the baking sheet over the corn ribs. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor.

                Enjoy: Serve warm as a delightful side dish or a tasty snack. Dive into this sweet and savory treat that everyone will love!
