A simple and unforgettable recipe for crispy grilled corn ribs slathered in herb butter and sprinkled with Parmesan, perfect for summer cookouts and quick gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ears fresh corn on the cob, husked and cleaned
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, for brushing the grill or corn ribs

Instructions

  1. Carefully cut each ear of corn into four long ribs lengthwise, slicing through the cob but not too thin to avoid breaking.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter, chopped parsley, chives, garlic powder, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  3. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese last to keep it from melting prematurely.
  4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C). Brush grill grates lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  5. Generously coat each corn rib with the herb butter mixture on all sides, about 1 tablespoon per rib.
  6. Place ribs on the grill perpendicular to the grates. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side, turning gently with tongs, until golden brown edges and a little char appear (total 12-16 minutes).
  7. Once off the grill, sprinkle extra Parmesan and fresh herbs on top. Serve hot.

Notes

If butter melts too quickly causing flare-ups, move ribs to a cooler part of the grill to finish cooking. Butter should be softened, not melted, for even coating. For no grill, bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through. Vegan substitutions include dairy-free butter and vegan Parmesan or nutritional yeast.
