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.

2 ears fresh corn, husked
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
