Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by removing the husks from the fresh corn. Cut each ear in half, then slice each half lengthwise into quarters to create corn ribs.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together olive oil, sweet paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Brush this mixture generously over the corn ribs.
  3. Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (355°F). Arrange the corn ribs in a single layer and cook for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  4. Melt vegan butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in olive oil, Aleppo chili flakes, and a pinch of salt. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine vegan cream cheese with lime zest and juice. Mix until smooth, then refrigerate briefly.
  6. Once the corn ribs are golden and crispy, arrange on a platter. Top with lime zest cream cheese and drizzle with Aleppo chili butter. Garnish with toasted pine nuts and chopped green onion.
