Ingredients:

  • 4 ears fresh sweet corn, shucked and cleaned
  • 1.5 tbsp Avocado oil
  • 1 tsp Smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp Onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp Sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp Ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup Plain low-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp Fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 tsp Chili powder
  • 1 tbsp Fresh cilantro, finely chopped

Instructions:

  1. Prep the corn. Remove all husks and silk from the 4 ears of corn.
  2. Split the cobs. Stand the corn vertically on a flat base and cut straight down through the center. Note: Rock the knife gently rather than using pure force.
  3. Quarter the pieces. Lay the halves flat and split them lengthwise again to create 4 long ribs per ear.
  4. Create the rub. Whisk the avocado oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
  5. Coat thoroughly. Toss the corn ribs in the oil mixture until every crevice is vibrant orange.
  6. Preheat unit. Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes before adding the corn.
  7. Arrange the basket. Place the ribs in a single layer, ensuring they aren't overlapping too much.
  8. Air fry. Cook for 12 minutes until the cobs are curved and the kernels are charred.
  9. Whisk the crema. While the corn cooks, combine the yogurt, lime juice, and chili powder.
  10. Final garnish. Drizzle the crema over the hot ribs and shower with fresh cilantro.
