1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp salt
Optional: lime wedges, cotija cheese, chopped cilantro

1. Remove husks and silk from the corn.
2. Stand each cob vertically and slice in half lengthwise, then again into quarters.
3. In a bowl, mix olive oil with paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, and salt.
4. Coat the corn ribs evenly with the seasoned oil.
5. Air fry at 375°F for 12–15 minutes or roast at 425°F for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway.

Add melted cowboy butter or chipotle mayo for extra flavor.
