Air Fryer Corn Ribs (Print Version)
Corn cobs transformed into curled, butter-coated ribs that crisp perfectly in the air fryer for a fun, finger-licking snack.
# Ingredients:
01 -
4 corn on the cob ears
02 -
3 tablespoons butter, softened
03 -
2 teaspoons paprika
04 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
05 -
Salt, to taste
06 -
Fresh parsley or basil (optional)
→ Optional Dipping Sauce
07 -
1/4 cup mayonnaise
08 -
1 tablespoon BBQ sauce
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Cut off the ends, remove the husk and silk, and rinse each ear of corn.
02 -
Microwave the corn ears for 2 minutes to soften them. Allow them to cool for 5 minutes.
03 -
Use a sharp knife to cut each ear vertically into quarters. If difficult, slice them in half horizontally to create shorter ribs.
04 -
Mix butter, paprika, garlic powder, herbs, and salt in a small bowl until well combined.
05 -
Brush the corn ribs evenly with the butter mixture using a silicone pastry brush or spoon.
06 -
Place corn ribs in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping them after 5 minutes, until curled, lightly charred, and crisp.
07 -
Combine mayonnaise and BBQ sauce in a small bowl. Serve alongside the corn ribs. Optional dips include whipped feta dip, ranch dressing, or melted butter.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Use a sharp knife and be careful when cutting the corn into ribs. If too difficult, create shorter ribs by slicing horizontally.
