Ingredients:

- 3 ears of corn, rinsed and dried

- 3 tbsp olive oil

- 1 tsp paprika powder

- 1 tsp garlic powder

- Salt and pepper to taste

- 200g Nafsika’s Garden cream cheese style

- Zest of 1 lime

- 2 limes, juiced

- 1 tbsp parsley, finely chopped

- 1 green onion, finely chopped

Instructions:

1. To prepare the corn ribs, cut the corn in half lengthwise. Stand one half of the corn upright and carefully cut vertically down through the cob. Then, cut these halves in half again lengthwise, giving you 8 "corn ribs" per ear of corn. **Tip:** If you’re not comfortable using a sharp knife, feel free to leave the corn as is or simply cut it in half.
2. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, paprika powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. 
3. Place the corn ribs in a large bowl and pour the seasoned oil mixture over them. Toss until all pieces are evenly coated.
4. Cook the corn ribs in an air fryer at 180°C (350°F) for 15-20 minutes, flipping them halfway through. The ribs should curl and turn golden brown when ready.
5. While the corn is cooking, prepare the lime cream cheese sauce. In a small blender, add Nafsika’s Garden cream cheese, lime zest, and lime juice. Blend until smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add water to achieve a drizzle-worthy consistency, or use it as a dip.
6. Once the corn ribs are done, arrange them on a serving platter. Drizzle with the lime cream cheese sauce, and garnish with green onions, parsley, and an extra zest of lime.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy this delicious, zesty twist on corn ribs!
