Chilli and Lime Corn Ribs

Preparation Notes

plus 5-10 mins cooling time

Ingredients

• 2 corn on the cob
• 2 tbsp dairy or vegan butter, melted
• 2 tbsp lime juice
• 1 tsp mild chilli powder
• salt, for seasoning

To serve:

• hot sauce
• 2 tbsp finely chopped parsley
• 1 red chilli, very finely chopped
• smoked salt, for seasoning

Method

1. In a large saucepan, cover the corn with boiling water. Boil on a high heat for 3 minutes. Remove from the water. Set aside until cool enough to handle.
2. Slice each cob lengthwise through the core and then into quarters lengthwise. For shorter ‘ribs’ cut the cobs in half first.
3. Brush with the melted butter. Transfer to a bowl.
4. Drizzle with lime juice. Sprinkle with chilli powder and season generously with salt. Toss until well coated.
5. Roast in an air fryer on 200°C for 10-15 minutes until starting to crisp and turn brown at the edges. Remove from the air fryer.
6. Drizzle with hot sauce. Season with the chopped parsley, chilli and salt.
7. Serve immediately.
