FAQs
Can I use frozen corn for this recipe?
Fresh corn gives the best texture, but you can use frozen corn if necessary. Just make sure to thaw and drain it well before cutting.
How do I know when the corn ribs are done cooking?
The corn ribs should be golden and crispy on the outside. If they need more time, just cook them for a few more minutes.
Can I cook more than one batch at a time?
You can, but make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer. Cook in batches if needed to keep them from steaming instead of crisping.
