Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Air Fried Corn Ribs with Cotija and Crema.
Step 1
Start by preheating your air fryer to a sizzling 400°F (200°C) for about 7 minutes, setting the stage for some delicious corn ribs.
Step 2
While it warms up, take your fresh corn cobs and stand them upright.
Step 3
With a steady hand, slice each ear in half down the middle, then lay the halves flat.
Step 4
Now, slice each half lengthwise to create four delightful 'ribs' from each ear of corn.
Step 5
Once your corn is prepped, give each rib a light spray of nonstick cooking spray to help them crisp up beautifully.
Step 6
Next, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the Everything but the Elote seasoning evenly over all 16 corn ribs, ensuring every bite is packed with flavor.
Step 7
It’s time to air fry! Place the corn ribs in batches in the air fryer and let them cook for about 12 minutes, or until they turn a lovely golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Once they’re done, carefully remove them from the air fryer and set them aside.
Step 9
To elevate your corn ribs, drizzle some creamy Mexican crema over the top, then sprinkle with crumbled cotija cheese and the remaining seasoning for that extra kick.
Step 10
Finally, finish off your masterpiece with a sprinkle of fresh chopped cilantro for a burst of color and flavor.
Step 11
Enjoy your deliciously crispy corn ribs, perfect for sharing or savoring all on your own!.
