Equipment

Traeger Ironwood Grill

Ingredients

4 ears corn (husked and silks removed)
2 tablespoons avocado oil (or other high-heat oil)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Mexican oregano
½ teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
1 lime (juiced)
¼ cup crumbled cotija cheese
2 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
Salt (to taste)

Instructions

Preheat your Traeger to 450°F with the lid closed for about 15 minutes.
Trim the base and tip off each ear of corn. Stand it upright and slice lengthwise into quarters, creating rib-like strips. Use a sharp knife and be careful—this step requires some force.
Toss corn ribs with oil, garlic powder, oregano, chili powder, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt.
Grill directly on the grates for 10–12 minutes total, turning every few minutes until the ribs curl and show light char.
Remove from the grill, squeeze fresh lime juice over the ribs, and sprinkle with cotija cheese and chopped cilantro. Serve immediately.
