Step 1
Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment or foil.
Step 2
Stand each corn ear upright on a cutting board and slice lengthwise into quarters to create rib-like pieces.
Step 3
Arrange corn pieces on the sheet pan in a single layer, cut-side up.
Step 4
Roast for 15–18 minutes until edges char and kernels darken in spots. Shake the pan halfway through.
Step 5
While corn roasts, melt butter in a small saucepan and stir in chili powder, salt, and pepper.
Step 6
Remove corn from oven. Brush generously with chili butter on the cut side.
Step 7
Squeeze lime juice over the top and scatter cilantro or parsley. Serve hot.
