SPICY SWEETCORN RIBS WITH CREAMY HERB DIP

- METHOD -

The corn can be quite difficult to cut, so to make things slightly easier, boil the corn cobs for 7 minutes and allow them to cool until they are comfortable to handle. Cut the cobs lengthwise in quarters. Mix together the olive oil, melted butter and spice seasonings. Paint the corn ribs with this seasoning mix.

To make these corn ribs in the oven: Pop the corn cobs in a baking sheet and place in a 200˚C oven for 20-30 minutes.

To air fry these corn ribs: Pop them in your air fryer at 200˚C for 10-15 minutes until they start curling and browning ever so slightly at the edges.

If preferred, you can also simply braai these corn ribs.

Serve them warm with the creamy herb dip. To make the dip, simply combine all the dip ingredients and stir.
