AIR FRYER CORN RIBS
This is my fun take on air-fried elote ribs. Cutting the corn this way causes them to curl up in the shape of ribs once cooked. This also makes the corn a lot easier to handle and eat, not to mention a lot less messy.

Tips:
- Choose the right ribs: Baby back ribs or spare ribs can be used. Baby back ribs are leaner and cook faster, while spare ribs have more meat and flavor.
- Trim the ribs: Remove any excess fat or silver skin from the ribs before cooking.
- Season the ribs: Apply a dry rub or marinade to the ribs before cooking. This will help to enhance the flavor.
- Preheat the air fryer: Preheat the air fryer to the desired temperature before cooking the ribs.
- Cook the ribs in batches: If you are cooking a large batch of ribs, cook them in batches to ensure that they cook evenly.
- Flip the ribs halfway through cooking: Flip the ribs halfway through cooking to ensure that they cook evenly on both sides.
- Check the ribs for doneness: Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the ribs to check for doneness. The ribs are done when they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, or 170 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done.
- Let the ribs rest: Let the ribs rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help to keep them juicy.
