Corn Ribs (in Air Fryer)
Fun and quick way to eat corn on the cob, it's almost dainty like and packed with flavor. Will throw this on the smoker next time for extra layer of flavor.
Ingredients
- 4 corn on the cob ears
- 3 T butter softened
- 2 t paprika
- 1 t garlic powder
- salt to taste
- fresh parsley or basil optional
Optional Dipping Sauce or HEB Salsa Ranch or Whataburger
- 1/4 C mayonnaise
- 1 T sriracha or sweet chili sauce
Directions
- Cut off the ends, remove the corn from the husk, and take off the silk. Rinse and clean each ear.
4 corn on the cob ears - Microwave the ears for 2 minutes to soften them before slicing. Let them cool for 5 minutes after microwaving.
- Cut the corn in half horizontally and then make 8 shorter ribs.
- Mix butter, smoked paprika, garlic powder and fresh herbs in a small bowl. Mix it well to incorporate the spices throughout the butter.
- Melt the butter mixture
Brush the corn ribs on all sides with the butter mixture. Use a silicone pastry brush or a spoon to spread it out. - Place the pieces of corn in the air fryer in a single layer.
- Air fry the ribs at 400 degrees F for 10-12 minutes, flipping them after 5 minutes. They will be curled and lightly charred, and crisp when they are done.
- Enjoy with choice of sauce drizzled over the top.
