Ingredients

Fresh Corn

  • 3 fresh corn ears

Marinade

  • 2 tbsp olive oil (or dairy free butter)
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp liquid smoke (optional)
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Corn: Remove husks and silks from fresh corn ears thoroughly. Boil each corn in a large pot of water for about 3 minutes depending on the size, to soften the cob slightly. Then, run under cold water for 45 seconds to cool down.
  2. Cut the Corn: Lay the corn flat on a cutting board and trim off the ends. Stand the corn upright and carefully split each ear lengthwise with a sharp knife. Then, cut these halves into quarter lengths or smaller rib sections according to your preference.
  3. Make the Marinade: In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and optional liquid smoke to create a flavorful marinade.
  4. Marinate the Corn Ribs: Brush the corn ribs generously with the seasoned oil, or rub the marinade onto them with your hands to ensure even coverage.
  5. Air Fry the Corn Ribs: Arrange the marinated corn ribs in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Air fry at a high setting for 10-12 minutes, or until the corn ribs are tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.
  6. Serve: Serve the corn ribs hot, garnished with lemon or lime wedges and accompanied by your favorite dipping sauce for an extra burst of flavor.

Notes

  • Adjust boiling time slightly based on the size of the corn to avoid overcooking.
  • Liquid smoke is optional but adds a smoky flavor that complements the paprika and garlic powder.
  • Arrange ribs in a single layer in the air fryer for even cooking and crispiness.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
  • Try serving with sauces like chipotle mayo, garlic aioli, or spicy ketchup for variety.
