Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Stand each corn ear upright on a cutting board. Slice lengthwise into 3–4 pieces, following the natural seams.
Step 3
Arrange corn ribs cut-side up on the baking sheet. Drizzle lightly with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Step 4
Roast for 15 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through, until edges are golden and caramelized.
Step 5
While corn cooks, melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and chili powder, cook 60 seconds until fragrant.
Step 6
Remove from heat. Stir in lime juice, salt, and pepper.
Step 7
Remove corn from oven. Brush generously with the chili-lime butter on both sides.
Step 8
Return to oven for 3 more minutes until butter is absorbed and edges look crispy.
Step 9
Serve hot, with any remaining chili butter drizzled over the top.
