These crispy air fryer corn ribs are coated in a spicy sriracha honey butter glaze, delivering a crunchy, sweet-heat snack that’s easy to make and perfect for entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 fresh corn on the cob
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1–2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Pinch of freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Husk and clean 3-4 fresh corn cobs. Stand each cob upright and slice lengthwise into 4-6 ribs, following the natural segments of the kernels, yielding about 12-18 ribs total.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 4 tablespoons softened unsalted butter, 2 tablespoons honey, and 1-2 tablespoons sriracha sauce depending on heat preference. Add 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix until smooth.
  3. Using a basting brush, generously coat each corn rib with the spicy honey butter mixture, ensuring coverage between kernels.
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F and let it run for about 3 minutes.
  5. Arrange the corn ribs in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overcrowding. Cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through with tongs to brown both sides evenly.
  6. Brush the ribs with any leftover spicy honey butter after cooking for a glossy, sticky finish. Serve immediately while warm and crispy.

Notes

If ribs aren’t crispy enough, air fry for an additional 2-3 minutes watching closely to avoid burning. Preheating the air fryer is essential for crispiness. For dairy-free, use plant-based butter and maple syrup instead of honey. Oven roasting at 425°F for 15-18 minutes on a wire rack is a good alternative.
