I can’t be the only one who’s noticed this silly trend on the Internet, and of course I had to give corn ribs a try. They look cute, and they’re easy for kids to eat, but insider secret: If your produce guy isn’t cutting these for you, the shape isn’t worth losing a finger over. They taste just as good as regular-shaped corn!

SERVES 4–6

• 4 ears corn
• 4 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 Tbsp oil
• 1 Tbsp honey
• 1 tsp salt

Split the ears of corn lengthwise in half and then quarters. Combine garlic, oil, honey, and salt, and brush onto corn (only on the kernels, not onto the husk). Grill on medium-hot grill for 10 minutes or until lightly charred, or 20 minutes for whole corn.
