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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or set an air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Rinse and pat dry the baby corn. Cut each baby corn lengthwise into quarters to create 'ribs.'
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Add the baby corn quarters to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Remove from the oven or air fryer and squeeze fresh lime juice over the corn ribs for added flavor.
Step 8
Sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro over the top (if using) and serve warm as a snack or side dish.
