Ingredients
  

4 ears of fresh corn

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup breadcrumbs (panko for extra crunch)

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnishing)

Optional: Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Corn: Stand each ear of corn upright on a cutting board. Carefully slice down the sides to remove the kernels, but leave the cob in one piece. This will create your “corn ribs.” Each ear generally yields 4-6 ribs.

      Mix the Coating: In a medium bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

        Season the Corn Ribs: Brush the corn ribs lightly with olive oil on all sides, ensuring an even coating. This will help the coating stick and promote crispiness.

          Coat the Corn Ribs: Dredge each corn rib in the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the coating well. Make sure each rib is coated evenly.

            Bake: Place the coated corn ribs on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Flip the corn ribs halfway through for even cooking.

              Garnish and Serve: Once the corn ribs are ready, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm with lemon wedges on the side for an extra zing.

                Enjoy: Bite into the deliciously crispy Parmesan corn ribs as an appetizer, side dish, or snack!
