Prepare the corn: remove from the husk and cut off the ends.
Microwave: microwave the whole corn on the cob on high for 2 minutes. Let cool to the touch.
Slice into ribs: with a sharp chef’s knife and a steady cutting board, place the corn vertically (stand it up) and carefully and slowly dice it in half, then dice those halves into quarters.
Season: in a bowl, combine ingredients from butter to parsley. Brush the ribs with the seasonings on all sides.
Air fry: place the ribs in a single layer with some space in-between. Air fry at 400°F (204°C) for 12 minutes total (flip after 6 minutes).
Oven: place the ribs on a lined baking sheet. Bake at 425°F (218°C) for 12-15 minutes or until they are lightly charred and a little crispy.
Serve: brush the corn ribs with a thin layer of mayo and sprinkle with more parsley on top. Serve hot or at room temperature!

Notes
Please make sure to microwave the whole corn on the cob first. It’ll make slicing much easier and safer.
Make sure you curve the fingers in with the hand that’s holding the corn in place, so you don’t accidentally cut yourself.
If slicing a whole corn make you nervous, try this - After you microwave the whole corn on the cob and cut off both ends, chop the cob in half (width-wise), then half and quarter it vertically so you’ll end up with 8 shorter pieces per cob. Because of the corn being on a shorter length, it’s easier to cut through and with less risk of accidents.
The oven version - the ribs won’t be as curvy but they will still be very delicious!
