Instructions

Step 1 – Preheat the Air Fryer

Heat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2 – Cut the Corn

Slice each ear of corn lengthwise into 4 equal pieces to create 8 “ribs.” Use a sharp knife and a sturdy cutting board for safety.

Step 3 – Season the Corn

In a small bowl, mix olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder, and black pepper. Brush the seasoning evenly on both sides of each corn rib.

Step 4 – Cook the Corn

Place the seasoned corn ribs in the air fryer basket and cook for 12 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crispiness.

Step 5 – Make the Sauce

While the corn cooks, whisk together mayonnaise, lime juice, and hot sauce in a small bowl.

Step 6 – Serve and Enjoy

Once the corn ribs are perfectly golden, drizzle the sauce over them and sprinkle cotija cheese and cilantro on top. Serve immediately and enjoy the flavor burst!

Tips for Perfect Corn Ribs

• Boost the Flavor: Add chili flakes or smoked paprika for an extra kick.
  
  

• Substitute Cotija: No cotija? Use feta or Parmesan cheese instead.
  
  

• Get Them Crispier: Add 2 more minutes of cook time for a crunchier bite.
  
  

• Extra Freshness: A squeeze of lime right before serving adds zest.
  
  

• Kid-Friendly Option: Skip the chili and hot sauce for a mild version.
