Print Recipe

A delicious and easy summer BBQ recipe featuring smoky, sweet, and spicy honey chipotle glazed corn ribs served with a refreshing lime crema.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large ears of fresh corn, husked and sliced into ribs
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon chipotle powder or ground chipotle chili
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • Juice of 1 fresh lime (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon honey or agave syrup

Instructions

  1. Husk the corn and rinse under cold water. Pat dry. Using a sharp chef’s knife, carefully slice each ear of corn lengthwise into 3 or 4 strips, following the kernels in ‘ribs.’
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, chipotle powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and olive oil until smooth and brushable. Warm honey slightly if too firm.
  3. Using a basting brush, generously coat each corn rib with the honey chipotle glaze. Set aside on a plate.
  4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Oil grill grates lightly to prevent sticking.
  5. Place corn ribs on the grill, kernel side down first. Grill for 3-4 minutes per side, brushing more glaze as you go, until char marks appear and surface is caramelized.
  6. While ribs grill, whisk together sour cream or Greek yogurt, lime juice, lime zest, salt, and optional honey in a bowl. Keep chilled until serving.
  7. Transfer grilled corn ribs to a serving platter. Drizzle or dollop with lime crema. Garnish with extra lime zest or chopped cilantro if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

If ribs start to char too quickly, move to a cooler part of the grill or lower the heat. Keep an eye on the glaze to avoid flare-ups. For no grill, bake at 425°F for 15-20 minutes flipping halfway, then broil briefly for char. Leftovers keep up to 2 days refrigerated; reheat gently on grill or oven to maintain texture.
