how to make Easy Cajun Butter Corn Ribs

Ingredients:

• 4 corn on the cobs
• 2 tbsp cajun seasoning
• 1 tbsp lemon pepper seasoning
• 2 tsp garlic paste
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 cup butter
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Small handful of parsley, chopped
• Parmesan to taste (about 1/4 cup)
• Lime wedges (for serving)

Directions:

1. Cut the corn into ribs: Husk and clean the cobs, then carefully slice each cob into quarters lengthwise to create rib-shaped strips.
2. Prepare the Cajun butter: In a small bowl, melt the butter and stir in Cajun seasoning, lemon pepper, garlic, and smoked paprika until well combined.
3. Coat the corn: Use a brush or clean hands to thoroughly coat each rib with half of the seasoned butter mixture. Make sure to get into all the grooves! Save the other half for later.
4. Air fry the corn ribs: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Add the ribs in a single layer (or work in batches if needed). Air fry for 18–20 minutes, flipping halfway through. They’ll start to curl and crisp at the edges.
5. Garnish and serve: Pour the remaining butter mixture over the top of the ribs. Then drizzle with parsley oil (or just sprinkle some fresh parsley on top), sprinkle with Parmesan, and serve with lime wedges on the side. Eat immediately while hot and crispy.
