Ingredients
  • 5 ears of corn, cut in half
  • 2 tablespoons garlic oil*
  • 1 cup packed cilantro
  • 4 limes
  • chili powder
  • ¼ cup cashew mayo/sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons sriracha
  • 2 tablespoons cashew parmesan from Minimalist Baker
  • sea salt
Instructions
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brush corn generously with garlic oil and cook until golden brown, about 7-10 minutes, turning corn frequently to ensure its browned on all sides. Corn can also be cooked on a grill or under a broiler.
  2. While corn is cooking, use a microplane to grate lime zest over cilantro (roughly 2 heaping tablespoons). Add a generous pinch of sea salt (roughly ¼ teaspoon) and chop the mixture until the cilantro is very finely minced.
  3. Add sriracha to cashew mayo and whisk to combine.
  4. Once corn is cooked, brush each cob with a generous amount of sriracha mayo mixture. Sprinkle with chili powder, then roll in cilantro lime mixture. Lay on a platter and sprinkle with cashew parmesan.
  5. Corn can be served warm or at room temperature.
Notes
* To make garlic oil, bring a ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil to a simmer in a small saucepan. Add three smashed garlic cloves and simmer until cloves turn golden brown. Remove cloves and allow to cool. Oil can be stored in the fridge for up to a week.
