Recipe: Simon Toohey
Directions
-
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 210°C fan forced.
-
Step 2
Cut the whole corn cobs length-ways in halves, then in halves again, so each cob becomes 4 long strips.
-
Step 3
Mix the rub ingredients together in a large bowl.
-
Step 4
Paint each corn strip with oil, and coat with the dry rub. Place in the oven and roast for 15 minutes or until curled up and roasted.
-
Step 5
Meanwhile, mix all the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl.
-
Step 6
Plate up the corn ribs and squeeze a wedge of lime over top and dust with any remaining spice rub. Serve with dipping sauce alongside it, or drizzled over all the corn :) Eat your tasty corn straight off the cob!
