Ingredients
  

  • 3 ears Fresh/Frozen Whole Sweet Corn
  • 2 tablespoon Vegan Butter
  • 3-4 cloves Garlic preferably fresh
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • 2-3 stalks Cilantro
  • Lime/Lemon Juice to taste
  • Salt to taste
  • Water to cook the corn

For Sour Cream Dip

  • ½ cup Sour Cream
  • 2 tablespoon Soy Sauce replace with tamari/ coconut aminos
  • ½ teaspoon Onion Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Mustard Powder
  • Salt & Pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Chopped Cilantro for topping

Instructions
 

Cooking the corn and cutting it in to "ribs"

  • Fill a wide pan or a deep pan large enough to hold the corn ears with water and bring to a rolling boil. Place the corn ears gently in the pan and cover it with a lid. Check every 4-5 minutes and turn them over to ensure all of it is well cooked.
  • Remove from the pan carefully and let the corn ears cool completely. Place the corn ear vertically on a cutting board with the larger end as the base. Use a knife and carefully drive it in right in the middle until the corn ear splits in to 2 pieces vertically.
  • Now place each half flat on the board and slice it in the middle, again vertically. You should have 4 "ribs" from each corn ear.

Making the seasoning for the corn ribs

  • In a bowl, add melted butter, grated garlic, paprika and salt. Mix well.

Making the corn ribs

  • Preheat the oven to 400 ℉. You can also use an air fryer to make the ribs.
  • Brush each of the rib generously with the seasoned butter. Place on the lined sheet pan and bake or air fry for 12 -15 minutes. Remove from oven/air fryer and top with a squeeze of fresh lime juice and chopped cilantro before serving.

Make the sour cream dip

  • Place the sour cream in a bowl and add all the other ingredients to the bowl. Mix well and top with chopped cilantro.

Notes

  1. You can also pan fry the slit corn ribs if you don't want to use an over/ air fryer. You will need to shallow fry in a large  enough frying pan. Use around 4-5 tablespoon of oil to get it crispy enough.
