Cajun Corn On The Cob

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

2. Season corn: In a small bowl, whisk olive oil with ½ tsp Cajun spice, ½ tsp smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Brush mixture over each ear of corn.

3. Bake: Wrap each corn cob in foil and bake for 30 minutes. For softer corn, unwrap, brush with more oil mixture, and bake an additional 20–25 minutes.

4. Make sauce: In a medium bowl, mix mayonnaise, sour cream, remaining Cajun spice and paprika, and lime juice. Adjust with salt and pepper to taste.

5. Finish & serve: Remove corn from the oven, brush with sauce, and top with cheese, cilantro, and an optional sprinkle of chipotle or chili powder. Serve warm.

optional tip

For a charred finish, transfer baked corn to a lightly greased grill pan and cook a few minutes on each side until lightly blackened.
