Delicious spiced corn on the cob strips
- 2 cobs whole sweetcorn
- splash of olive oil (easier in a spray bottle)
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (or use regular paprika or Cajun spice)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic granules
- pinch of ground black pepper
- pinch of salt (Maldon sea salt or Pink Himalayan)
- *sprinkle of red chilli flakes (optional)
-
Strip any outer leaves from the corn on the cob and trim any stalks. Put the corn (whole) in a large pan of boiling water and cook for 5-7 minutes. Make sure the corn is either covered with water or you use tongs to turn it whilst cooking.
-
Drain the water from the pan and allow the corn to cool slightly. Put the oven on at Gas Mark 6 (400f / 200c). Get your remaining ingredients ready.
-
Put the cobs on a chopping board and using a big knife, very carefully cut the cob in half lengthways. Depending on the size of the cobs, cut each half into 2 or 3 pieces (so each cob becomes 4 or 6 long strips). Repeat with the other cob.
-
Lay the corn strips on a baking tray and spray (or rub) with a bit of oil. Sprinkle over the smoked paprika, garlic, pepper and salt (& chilli flakes if using) then spray again with oil (or drizzle oil over the spices).
-
Bake (Gas Mark 6 / 400f / 200c ) for 10-15 minutes until they look done!
-
Eat your ribs off the cob!
-
Enjoy!
