The oven delivers tender, golden air-fried corn ribs in just 13 minutes. The spice rub is umami-packed…smoky and cheesy (nutritional yeast, we see you) with a cheeky chili kiss. Impossible to resist…we suggest you make double.
1Trim the ends from the corn, if necessary. Cut the corn in half crosswise. Place each half, standing vertically on the cutting board. Use the handle of a wooden spoon to hammer on the back of the knife to cut in half lengthwise. Then, cut each half into quarters lengthwise.
2Insert the oven rack into position 3 Down. Place the roasting pan on the rack to catch any drips during cooking. Set the oven to Air Fry, Super Convection, 430°F, for 13 minutes and press Start to preheat. Meanwhile, continue to the next step.
3Place the salt, pepper and 3 tablespoons oil in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Add the corn and toss to coat. Place the corn in a single layer, in the air fry basket.
4Once preheated, place the basket into position 1 and air fry for 13 minutes. When the oven signals, rotate the basket and continue cooking. Meanwhile, continue to the next step.
5To make the spice mix, process the yeast flakes in a spice grinder to a fine powder. Add the remaining ingredients and process briefly to combine. Set aside.
6The corn kernels should be tender when pierced with a knife. If not, press A Bit More.
Tip: It may need a little more or a little less extra cooking time, best to keep an eye on it.
7In the same large bowl, add the spice mix and remaining 3 tablespoons oil and stir to combine. Add the corn ribs and toss to coat.
8Serve the corn ribs with a squeeze of lime juice.
