  • Step 1

    Peel the husks away from the corn. Cut the cobs into thirds or halves. Boil for around 10 mins.

  • Step 2

    Make your BBQ spice mix by mixing the cumin, dried coriander, smoked paprika, oregano and the sugar. Season with salt and pepper.

  • Step 3

    Once cooked, roll the cobs in the mayonnaise and BBQ spices. Next, sprinkle with cheese. Turn them over so you cover the cob.

  • Step 4

    Bake at 180C for about 6-7 mins, until the cheese is golden. Finish by sprinkling over coriander, or another herb of choice, and chopped chilli.
