01 - 4 ears fresh corn, husked
→ Spice & Oil Mixture
02 - 2 tbsp olive oil
03 - 1 tsp smoked paprika

# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Carefully cut each ear of corn lengthwise into quarters to create ribs. Stand corn upright on a towel and use a sharp chef's knife, rocking gently.
03 - In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
04 - Brush the corn ribs on all sides with the spiced oil mixture, ensuring even coverage.
05 - Arrange corn ribs on the prepared baking sheet, cut side up, leaving space between pieces.
06 - Roast for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking, until corn begins to curl and edges become crisp.
07 - Sprinkle shredded cheese and Parmesan evenly over the corn ribs. Return to oven for 3-5 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
08 - Transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and serve immediately with lime wedges.
