Course Side Dish

Ingredients
  

  • 4 Ears of Corn
  • 2 Tbsps Ground Onion Powder
  • 2 Tbsps Ground Garlic Powder
  • 1 Tbsp Parsley Flakes
  • 1.5 Tsps Paprika, Sweet or Smoky
  • 1 Tsp Salt
  • 1 Tsp Pepper
  • 3 Tbsps Olive or Grape Seed Oil

Instructions
 

  • Wash and dry corn ears making sure to remove all leaves and stringy bits.
    Clean Corn Ears
  • Wrap each ear individually in wet paper towel and microwave for 5mins. Allow to cool.
    TIP: This will make it much easier to cut the ears in quarters.
    Microwaved Corn
  • Stand the ears upright and carefully cut through the top. Then push the knife all the way through until you've cut the ear in half.
    TIP: I found a non-serrated knife worked best.
    Corn Ribs Halved
  • Placing the cut side down, cut the half portion in half again so you have four quarters from each ear.
    TIP: I used a meat tenderizing mallet to help push the knife through. Give the knife a couple of good whacks and it will glide through easily.
    Corn Ribs Quartered
  • Mix together all the spices.
    Corn Ribs Spices
  • Add oil and stir until well combined.
    Corn Ribs Mix
  • Brush the spice & oil mixture over the top and bottom of the corn.
    Corn Ribs
  • Use all the mixture you have mixed together. If you find it gets too dry, you can add some more oil, as needed.
    Corn Ribs
  • Set corn in a single layer at the bottom of your preheated Air Fryer basket. Run at 400° for 10 mins. Flip and cook for an additional 10 mins.
    NOTE: It's normal for the corn to curl. This is part of it's charm!
