# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 200°C / 400°F).

02 - Cut each ear of corn lengthwise into quarters to form "ribs." (Tip: Use a sharp chef’s knife and steady pressure—place a damp towel under the cob for stability.)

03 - In a small bowl, mix together butter, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, lime zest, lime juice, salt, and chopped cilantro until thoroughly combined.

04 - Brush each corn rib lightly with some of the chili lime butter.

05 - Grill corn ribs cut-side down for 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until charred, tender, and slightly curled.

06 - Transfer the grilled corn ribs to a platter. Immediately brush with remaining chili lime butter.

07 - Garnish with extra cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
