Ingredients
- 4 corn on the cob ears
- 3 tablespoon butter softened
- 2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt to taste
- fresh parsley or basil optional
Optional Dipping Sauce
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon BBQ sauce
Instructions
- Cut off the ends, remove the corn from the husk, and take off the silk. Rinse and clean each ear.
- Microwave the ears for 2 minutes to soften them before slicing. Let them cool for 5 minutes after microwaving.
- Use a sharp knife for slicing. Place the corn vertically and carefully cut it in half. Then cut the halves into quarters, creating four ribs from each ear.
- If you find it difficult to cut the ears into ribs, cut them 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.
- 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 basket, making sure to keep them 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.
- Mix the mayonnaise and BBQ sauce in a small bowl for a quick dipping sauce. Other good dipping sauces are whipped feta dip, ranch dressing, or melted butter.
Notes
- Tips:
- Be extremely careful when cutting the ears into fourths, and watch your fingers. Use a sharp knife, and do not rush through the cutting. If it isn't working, cut the ears in half horizontally and make shorter ribs.
