Easy Air Fryer Corn Ribs recipe (with dipping sauce)
I still remember when I first tried a corn rib recipe: they were so juicy & amazing. They are simple, delicious & you can make them in less that 20 minutes. They are a play on the BBQ corn on the cob, mixed with some Mexican flavours & as they cook, they bend, so they end up looking like ribs. This air fryer corn rib recipe comes with a chilli dipping sauce that takes these corn ribs to the next level.
I love sneaking extra vegetables into each meal, so this is a great way to add to your quota of vegetables for the day, & get your kids trying vegetables a different way. We love having this as a side dish, or as a snack.

The ingredients you need for the Air Fryer Corn Ribs Recipe:
- corn
- spices – garlic, onion & smoked paprika
- spray oil
How to make the Corn ribs:
The hardest part of this recipe is actually cutting the corn. I know some people like to leave the corn pieces long & you really get that rib sort of look, but no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t get the pieces straight & even. So I decided to cut the corn in half & then cut it length ways into 4 pieces.
Spray the corn with some oil & then place all the ingredients into a bag or into a container, place on the lid, & shake shake shake.
Place the corn pieces evenly into the air fryer basket (or oven). Cook for 12-15min on 190degrees. Continue to check to make sure that they do not burn.
While they are cooking, you can make a delicious dipping sauce. I just whipped together some:
- mayonnaise
- chilli sauce
Sprinkle with some coriander & your corn ribs are complete…
My kids love these as a side dish, but also as a snack after school. This is another super simple way to add extra vegetables into your diet but taste super delicious. Your kids wont even know that they are eating vegetables.
