Air fryer corn ribs are a fun and flavorful twist on traditional corn on the cob, seasoned with a buttery spice blend and cooked until charred and curled into rib-like shapes.
Ingredients
- 4 ears fresh corn on the cob
- 3 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt, to taste (optional)
- Fresh herbs like parsley or basil, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Remove husks and silks from corn, then cut off ends for flat surfaces.
- Microwave corn for 2 minutes to soften, then let cool for 5 minutes.
- Carefully cut each ear lengthwise into quarters to create rib-like strips.
- Mix softened butter with paprika and garlic powder in a bowl.
- Brush butter mixture evenly over all sides of the corn ribs.
- Place ribs in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Air fry at 400°F (204°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
