Can I use frozen corn?

Fresh is best for that perfect texture, but in a pinch, thawed frozen corn works (just pat it super dry first). The ribs won't get quite as crispy, but they'll still taste great!

How do I cut corn into ribs?

Flip the husked cob upside-down so it sits flat. Use a sharp knife to cut lengthwise down the middle first, then cut each half into 2-3 wedges. Pro tip: Watch your fingers - that first cut can be tricky!

Why aren't my corn ribs crispy?

Three likely culprits: overcrowding the basket (they need space!), not preheating the air fryer, or not flipping halfway. Fix these and you'll get that perfect crunch every time.

Can I make these ahead?

The seasoning can be mixed in advance, but cook them fresh for the best texture. Leftovers reheat well though - just 3 minutes back in the air fryer!
