Ingredients
  

4 ears of fresh corn

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/4 cup honey

1 tablespoon paprika (smoked or sweet)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for a kick)

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preparation of Corn: Begin by shucking the corn and removing all silk. Cut each ear of corn into quarters lengthwise, creating ribs. Stand the ears upright and slice straight down with a sharp knife.

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

      Preheat the Grill or Oven: If grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C). If using the oven, preheat to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

        Coat the Corn Ribs: Brush the corn ribs generously with the honey butter mixture on all sides. Make sure they're well coated to ensure a delicious caramelization during cooking.

          Cooking:

            - For Grill: Place the corn ribs directly on the grill grates. Grill for about 10-15 minutes, turning every few minutes until they develop nice char marks and are tender.

              - For Oven: Place the corn ribs on the prepared baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and slightly crispy.

                Serving: Once cooked, remove the corn ribs from the grill or oven. Drizzle them with any remaining honey butter mixture and sprinkle with fresh parsley for color and freshness. Serve with lime wedges on the side for adding a zesty kick.

                  Enjoy: Dig in and enjoy these sweet, buttery, and slightly spicy Golden Honey Butter Corn Ribs as a unique appetizer or side dish!
