Step 1

Remove husks and silks from fresh corn. Boil each cob in a large pot of water for up to 3 minutes to soften the husk. Run under cold water for 45 seconds to cool.

Step 2

Lay corn flat on a cutting board and trim ends. Stand corn upright and split lengthwise with a sharp knife. Cut halves into quarter lengths or smaller ribs as desired.

Step 3

Make marinade with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and liquid smoke. Brush ribs with seasoned oil or rub with your hands. Arrange in a single layer in air fryer basket. Air fry at high setting for 10-12 minutes or until tender and crispy. Serve hot with lemon or lime wedges and your favorite sauce. See suggestions below.
