Instructions

Turn on your BBQ or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Cut off the ends of each cob of corn, then cut the corn in half length-wise. Cut the corn again in have length-wise so that each cob of corn is quartered.

Place the corn in a casserole dish and cover completely with the melted butter and olive oil.

Sprinkle on the seasoning and minced garlic, then flip the corn in the casserole dish to ensure each piece of corn is evenly coated in the seasoning and butter-oil mixture.

Once the grill is hot, place the corn ribs directly on the grill and cook until charred, about 8-10 minutes, then flip and continue to cook until charred on the other side and corn starts bending to look like a rib (slight arch shape).

You can continue to brush the corn with the butter-oil mixture from the casserole dish as it cooks on the BBQ or grill.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Cut Corn Lengthwise for Maximum Surface Area 🔪
Slice corn cobs in half lengthwise rather than cross-sections to create flat surfaces that maximize contact with the grill and butter absorption for crispier, more flavorful results.
Compound Butter Prep Ahead 🧈
Make your garlic butter 1-2 hours in advance and keep it chilled, allowing flavors to meld and making it easier to spread evenly on hot corn while it's still on the grill.
Dry Your Corn Thoroughly Before Grilling 💧
Pat corn ribs completely dry with paper towels before oiling to ensure a crispy, caramelized exterior rather than steamed kernels.
Toast Your Paprika and Seasonings First 🔥
Lightly toast the paprika and all-purpose seasoning in a dry pan for 30 seconds before mixing with your garlic butter to unlock deeper, more complex flavors.
Double-Butter Application at the End ✨
Apply garlic butter twice—once halfway through grilling and again immediately after removing from heat—for intense flavor and a glossy, restaurant-quality finish.
