Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, half of the Cajun spice, half of the smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Brush each ear of corn generously with the oil-spice mixture, then wrap each cob in foil.
- Place the foil-wrapped corn on a baking sheet and transfer to the oven. Bake for 30 minutes. If you prefer softer corn, remove from the oven after 30 minutes, brush with more oil-spice mixture, and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes.
- While the corn is baking, prepare the mayo sauce. In a medium bowl, mix together vegan mayonnaise, sour cream, remaining Cajun spice, remaining smoked paprika, lime juice, salt, and pepper.
- Once the corn is baked, let it cool slightly, then brush with any remaining oil-spice mixture (optional) and generously coat with the mayo sauce.
- For a charred finish, transfer the corn to a lightly greased grill pan and grill until desired char marks appear on all sides.
- Top the corn with crumbled feta or cotija cheese, chopped cilantro, and an extra sprinkle of Cajun spice.
- Serve warm and enjoy the fiery flavors of this Spicy Cajun Corn Fiesta!
