  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Method
 

  1. Use a sharp knife to cut your cobs of corn into strips, first cut into halves, then cut them lengthwise into 4 pieces;
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the oil and spices;
  3. Add all the corn ribs to your air fryer basket, make sure they're not overcrowded. If your basket is small you might wanna cook them in batches;
  4. Drizzle the oil spice mixture over the corn ribs, and toss to coat every piece well;
  5. Air fry at 390°F for 12 minutes, check on them and toss around again, then air fry for another 5 minutes, each air fryer is different so monitor the cook and adjust the cooking time accordingly;
  6. Meanwhile, mix together the gochujang glaze, the thickness of gochujang paste varies from brand to brand so there isn't a fixed amount of water you need to add, drizzle water slowly while whisking to thin the glaze to your preferred consistency;
  7. To make the tofu ranch, add everything except the fresh herbs to a blender and blend till very smooth, mix in the fresh herbs afterwards;
  8. Once the corn ribs are cooked, drizzle the gochujang glaze on them or toss them in a large bowl to coat, serve hot with the dipping sauce, enjoy!
