Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by husking the corn and removing all silk strands for a clean bite. Microwave the husked corn for 2 minutes to soften them.
  2. Once the corn has cooled, cut each ear in half vertically to create riblets. Cut into quarters.
  3. In a bowl, combine softened butter with paprika, garlic powder, and any fresh herbs. Stir until well combined.
  4. Brush the butter mixture generously onto all sides of the corn ribs.
  5. Carefully place the coated corn ribs in a single layer inside the air fryer basket.
  6. Set the air fryer to 400°F and cook the corn ribs for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway.
  7. Combine mayonnaise and BBQ sauce in a small bowl for a creamy dip.
  8. Serve the corn ribs immediately and garnish with freshly chopped parsley or basil.
