Ingredients
  

4 large ears of fresh corn

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/4 cup honey

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Optional: Red pepper flakes (for a spicy kick)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Corn: Carefully cut the corn kernels away from the cob so that you have 4 equal sections, resembling ribs. (You can use a sharp knife and cut downward, rotating the cob as you go.)

      Make the Honey Butter Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, garlic powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined.

        Coat the Corn Ribs: Place the corn ribs on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the honey butter mixture generously over each piece, ensuring they are well-coated.

          Bake the Corn Ribs: Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through. The corn ribs should be golden brown and slightly caramelized when done.

            Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and, if desired, a pinch of red pepper flakes for added heat. Serve warm as a delightful side dish or snack.

              Enjoy!: Dive into the sweet and buttery flavor explosion of your Honey Butter Baked Corn Ribs. Perfect for summer barbecues or cozy family dinners!
