Description
Air fryer corn ribs are a crispy, buttery, and fun twist on corn on the cob, where fresh corn quarters curl into rib-like shapes as they cook, perfect for dipping and snacking.
Ingredients
- 4 ears fresh corn on the cob
- 2 tablespoons softened butter or olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt to taste (optional)
- Fresh herbs like parsley or basil for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Remove the husks and silks from the corn. Cut off the ends. Microwave the ears for 2 minutes and let them cool for about 5 minutes.
- Stand each corn ear upright on a stable surface and slice it in half lengthwise. Then slice each half again to make quarters.
- Brush each rib with butter or oil. Sprinkle with paprika, garlic powder, and salt if using.
- Place corn ribs in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until lightly charred and curled.
- Garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately with dipping sauces.
Notes
- Use a sharp knife and stable surface to safely cut the corn.
- Microwaving helps soften the corn for easier slicing.
- Customize seasoning to your preference.
- Serve with a variety of dips for added flavor.
