Brown Butter Parmesan Corn Ribs

Ingredients

    blank

    • 4 ears corn on the cob
    • 2 Tbsp olive oil
    • 1 Tbsp Spiceology Brown Butter Parmesan Seasoning

    blank

    • 4 Tbsp unsalted butter
    • 1 Tbsp Spiceology Brown Butter Parmesan Seasoning, plus more for finishing

    blank

    • 1/2 cup Parmesan, grated

    • 2 Tbsp parsley, chopped

    • Juice of 1 lemon

    • 4 lemon wedges, for serving

    • 1/2 tsp black pepper

    • 1/2 cup ranch or garlic aioli, optional, for serving

    Directions

    1. Cut the Corn Ribs. Stand each ear of corn on end and carefully cut lengthwise into quarters to create the “ribs.” Use a sturdy chef's knife and go slowly.

    2. Season. Toss the corn ribs with the olive oil and 1 Tbsp Brown Butter Parmesan Seasoning.

    3. Cook. Grill over medium-high heat for 10–12 minutes, roast at 425°F for 15–18 minutes, or air fry at 400°F for 8–10 minutes — until the ribs curl, char, and are tender.

    4. Make the Brown Butter. While the corn cooks, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Swirl occasionally and cook 2–3 minutes, until golden brown and nutty-smelling — watch closely, as brown butter can go from golden to burnt fast. Stir in the remaining 1 Tbsp Brown Butter Parmesan Seasoning.

    5. Toss. Transfer the hot corn ribs to a bowl and drizzle with the seasoned brown butter. Toss with the Parmesan, parsley, lemon juice, and black pepper.

    6. Serve. Plate with lemon wedges and a final dusting of Brown Butter Parmesan Seasoning. Serve with ranch or garlic aioli, if desired.
