Gochujang Corn Ribs
June 7, 2025
It’s corn on the cob made ribs style — in the air fryer! The coolest and most delicious part about this recipe is the way the corn opens up as it cooks, letting flavor seep into the kernels in a way the traditional cob style just doesn’t allow, resulting in a ton of delicious buttery flavor in every bite. (Just don’t eat the actual cob!) Your next barbecue is begging for this dish.
Here’s the super easy recipe:
