Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) or prepare an air fryer.
Cut each ear of corn into quarters lengthwise to create rib-like strips.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.
Brush the seasoning mixture onto all sides of the corn ribs.
Place the corn ribs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or in an air fryer basket.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or air fry for 12-15 minutes until the edges are crispy and curled.
Serve hot with lime wedges and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro, if desired.

Use a sharp knife to cut the corn; microwaving the ears for a minute beforehand can help soften them.
Customize the seasoning with your favorite spice blend or add grated cheese for extra flavor.
Great as a side dish or appetizer.
