1. Prep the Corn & Spice Rub
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, ½ of the Cajun spice, ½ of the smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
2. Season & Bake
Place each ear of corn on its own piece of aluminum foil. Brush generously with the oil and spice mixture, coating all sides. Wrap each cob securely in the foil and bake for 30 minutes. For softer corn, bake an additional 20–25 minutes.
3. Prepare the Sauce
While the corn is baking, mix together in a medium bowl:
-
4 tablespoons of mayonnaise
-
⅓ cup sour cream
-
Remaining Cajun spice and smoked paprika
-
1 tablespoon lime juice
-
Salt and pepper to taste
4. Finish the Corn
Once baked, unwrap the corn and let it cool slightly. Brush each cob generously with the prepared mayo sauce.
5. Garnish & Serve
Top each cob with ½ cup crumbled feta or cotija cheese and 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro. Sprinkle with optional chipotle or chili powder if desired. Serve warm.
Enjoy this festive and flavorful twist on a summer classic!
