You’ll Need
4 large corn on the cobs
1 tbsp olive oil
BBQ Seasoning
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp chilli flakes
1 tsp sea salt
½ tsp black pepper
Garlic Butter Finish
40g butter, melted
2 cloves garlic, finely grated
1 tsp honey
Optional But Dangerous
Parmesan
Fresh parsley
Lime wedges
Chipotle mayo
Method
Preheat your air fryer to 200°C.
Carefully cut each corn cob lengthways into quarters to create corn ribs.
Add the corn ribs to a bowl with the olive oil.
Mix together the smoked paprika, garlic powder, chilli flakes, salt, and black pepper.
Toss thoroughly until fully coated.
Place the corn ribs into the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Air fry for 14–16 minutes, turning halfway through.
Cook until the corn begins curling slightly and the edges become charred.
While the corn cooks, combine the melted butter, garlic, and honey.
Brush the corn generously with the garlic butter immediately after cooking.
Finish with parmesan, parsley, lime wedges, or chipotle mayo if using.
Serve immediately while still hot and smoky.
