Healthy Recipes Ingredients Healthy Vegetable Recipes Healthy Corn Recipes Sticky Hoisin Corn Ribs 5.0 (2) 2 Reviews If you’re looking for a fun side dish, these corn ribs are an excellent choice. Cutting the corn into a rib shape is easier than you might think—be sure to use a downward rocking motion, as it allows the knife to do the work and keeps your fingers safe. The hoisin glaze coats the “ribs” for a sweet, salty and tangy bite that you won’t soon forget. Smoked paprika mimics the flavor of the grill, but you can use regular.

Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil. Using a sharp knife, trim off both ends of each corn ear to expose cob. Stand the cob on one of the cut ends; carefully cut in half lengthwise, rocking the knife while applying downward pressure from the top. Place corn cob half cut-side up on the cutting board; cut in half lengthwise, rocking the knife while applying downward pressure, creating 4 even quarters. Repeat with the remaining ears of corn for a total of 16 ribs; place the corn ribs on the prepared baking sheet.

Simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside uncovered at room temperature.

Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients.
