Instructions for Grilled Corn Ribs

1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat
2. Husk the corn and remove the silk. Cut each ear of corn into 2 to 3-inch sections, creating corn ribs.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to create a seasoning blend.
4. Brush the corn ribs generously with the seasoning blend, ensuring each piece is coated evenly.
5. Place the corn ribs on the preheated grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the corn is tender and slightly charred.
6. Remove the corn ribs from the grill and let them cool for a few minutes.

Optional: Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley for added flavor and presentation.

Serve the grilled corn ribs hot with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the corn if desired. Dip them in the cilantro lime dipping sauce.

Tips and Tricks: Make the dipping sauce first so it has time to chill while the corn is cooking
