Shuck the corn and cut off the ends. Rinse the corn to clean, then use a sharp knife to cut the corn vertically into quarters, creating four ribs from each ear of corn.
In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, garlic powder, and parsley, mixing well to combine.
Brush cream cheese mixture onto the corn ribs with a silicone brush or spoon. Smooth the cream cheese mix on all sides. Make sure to leave as a thin layer so that the cheese doesn’t burn.
Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees F / 204 degrees C for about 5 minutes.
Place the corn ribs into the air fryer basket and cook for 8 minutes, or until curled and lightly charred and crisp. Flip the corn ribs over after 4 minutes.
While corn is cooking, combine mayonnaise, ground chili, and Tabasco sauce in a small bowl.
Drizzle the corn ribs with spicy mayo before serving. Garnish with diced jalapenos and a squeeze of lime juice, and serve with lime wedges if desired.

Select fresh corn that is plump and juicy.
Cut off both ends of the corn to easily remove the husks and silks.
Always use a very sharp knife and carefully slice the corn. Watch your fingers!
Bring the cream cheese to room temperature before blending with the other ingredients.
Use a silicone pastry brush to spread the cheese mixture.
Be sure to spread the cream cheese mixture in a thin layer to prevent burning.
Don’t stack the corn ribs in the air fryer. Cook in a single layer and cook in batches if needed.
To decrease the heat level of the spicy mayo, eliminate the ground chilis.
Longer corn on the cob can be cut in half before splitting into ribs resulting in 8 corn ribs per cob.
Dip corn ribs into your favorite sauces for serving.
Serve as a side dish, appetizer or finger food at a party.
Storage - keep leftovers in an airtight container for three days.
