Description

Comforting yet healthy vegan Mexican street corn ribs that are air-fried for an easy side dish that’s bursting with flavor.


Ingredients

Scale

Corn:

  • 3 Ears of Corn
  • 1 Tbsp Vegan Butter (Melted)
  • 1 tsp Agave Nectar
  • 1/2 Lime (Juiced)

Garnish:

  • 3 Tbsp Vegan Cream Cheese
  • 1 tsp Chipotle Chili Pepper or Smoked Paprika
  • 2 Tbsp Pepita Parmesan
  • ¼ Cup Fresh Cilantro (Chopped)

Instructions

  1. Remove the husk and fibers from the ears of corn. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut each ear in half. Leaving you with six equal sized ears. 
  2. Place each ear on a cutting board vertically and slice them in half lengthwise. This may need a little force. Next, cut each half into quarters lengthwise. Giving you eight pieces for each ear of corn. 
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. In a small bowl, melt the butter and add the agave syrup and lime juice, stir to combine. Brush each “rib” with the butter mixture. 
  4. Carefully place the ribs into the hot air fryer and cook until lightly browned, approx. 7 minutes. 
  5. Once the ribs have browned remove them from the air fryer and spread vegan cream cheese on each. Sprinkle with chipotle chili pepper or paprika, pepita Parmesan and chopped cilantro. Serve immediately and enjoy!
  6. Leftover corn ribs can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to five days and reheated.
