These corn ribs are made by cutting the cob into quarters before charring to get smoky flavours. They're coated in a herby chimichurri salsa and served with chipotle mayo for dipping. They make a great meat-free BBQ side. See method

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 220°C, fan 200°C, gas 7.
  2. Stand the corn on the cob upright on a chopping board, push a large knife into the top round of the cob in a downward motion, then gently rock the knife back and forth down the length of the cob until it splits in half. Turn it over and cut it in half again cutting through the kernels into the core, creating 4 long ribs per cob.
  3. Mix 1 tbsp oil, the zest and juice of 1 lime, the smoked paprika, 1 chilli, the brown sugar and 10g of the coriander together and toss through the corn ribs until evenly coated. Arrange the corn ribs on their sides in a single layer on a large baking tray and roast on the middle shelf of the oven for 20-25 mins until lightly charred and the corn has softened and curled. Alternatively, cook on a preheated BBQ for 8-10 mins, turning regularly.
  4. Meanwhile, mix the remaining 1 tbsp oil, juice 2 limes, the remaining chilli and coriander, parsley, onion and garlic together until well combined.
  5. Mix the mayonnaise and chipotle paste together until uniform.
  6. Arrange the corn on a platter, spoon over the chimichurri salsa and serve immediately with the chipotle mayo for dipping.

Tip: Use vegan mayonnaise to make these vegan.
