 This is a sponsored post in partnership with Dandy. All opinions are my own.

When you have friends and family over to cook and eat outside do you call it a barbecue or a cookout? Do you grill your food on a barbecue or barbecue your food on a grill? However you say it, these corn ribs with perfectly matched dipping sauces definitely deserve a place at your next get-together. Our secret sweet ingredient is Dandy Sweet Corn, but beyond that, you have the freedom to be flexible with this easy recipe idea!

Dandy Sweet Corn is our favorite, so we always pick up extra when we see it at our local grocery store. There is something magical about how it arrives at our house just at the peak of freshness. It is so juicy and flavorful that you can just eat it raw. And we have quite a bit. However, these corn ribs have been a huge hit at our house so we wanted to share this simple idea with you. You might just be addicted to them all summer long!

Ingredients: Dandy Sweet Corn, olive oil or melted butter, your favorite rubs or grill seasonings, chopped fresh cilantro, grated cotija cheese, assorted dipping sauces.

Directions:

1. Chop the corn on the cob in half and then in quarters. We stand it up on end to cut it so that we don't crush any of the kernels. Then cut the cob in quarters. 

2. Place corn ribs in a bowl and drizzle olive oil or melted butter over the top. Stir until all the ribs are well coated. 

3. Place corn ribs in a dish and sprinkle on your favorite rubs or seasonings. I recommend using a variety to give all the ribs a slightly different flavor. 

4. Grill at 400° for 25-30 minutes or until slightly charred. Make sure not to overcook them so your barbecue time might vary depending on what model you have. While they are cooking, prep your sauces. We like using a wide variety so that everyone can pick their favorite. My recommendations are salsa ranch, buffalo sauce, guacamole, queso, pesto, BBQ sauce, and truffle hot sauce. 

5. Remove ribs from grill, sprinkle on cilantro and grated cotija cheese, then serve.

So whether your friends and family call it a cookout or a barbecue, pick up some Dandy Sweet Corn the next time you are at the grocery store to make everyone at your meal happy! These corn ribs are sure to become a popular request all summer long. Just remember to make extra because they are also great served chilled as leftovers!
