Prepare the corn: After husking, washing, and drying each ear of corn, carefully cut off both ends. Stand each cob upright on a cutting board and cut it in half crosswise. Then, lay each half on its flat side and carefully cut it lengthwise into quarters. A rolling pin can be used to apply pressure and safely cut through the cob.

Preheat air fryer and cook: Preheat an air fryer to 400°F. Carefully transfer the buttered corn ribs into the air fryer basket. Add any leftover butter and seasonings from the baking sheet to the air fryer with the corn. Air fry for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping the corn ribs halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden brown and slightly charred at the edges. Check regularly to prevent burning.
