Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Fresh baby corn
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 whole Lime
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or set an air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse and pat dry the baby corn. Cut each baby corn lengthwise into quarters to create 'ribs.'
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a seasoning paste.
Add the baby corn quarters to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Arrange the seasoned baby corn ribs on a parchment-lined baking sheet or in the air fryer basket, making sure they are in a single layer and not overlapping.
Bake for 20 minutes in the oven or air fry for 12-15 minutes, until the corn ribs are tender and slightly crispy at the edges.
Remove from the oven or air fryer and squeeze fresh lime juice over the corn ribs for added flavor.
Sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro over the top (if using) and serve warm as a snack or side dish.
