Preheat oven to 375°F. Cut ends off of corn cobs so that they are flat. Cut corn into 4 ribs (quarter lengthwise)*. Standing one cob on the end, cut in half lengthwise right in the center of the corn using a very sharp knife. Rock back and forth and push firmly to cut through. Cut each half in half lengthwise again (either by standing up or lying the cob on the side). Rock back and forth and push firmly to cut through. In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter and BBQ rub ingredients. Spread butter mixture on corn side with a brush. If extra butter mixture, spread on the side of the corn ribs. Bake on a parchment lined baking tray for 25-30 minutes** or until corn is cooked, and corn ribs start to crisp and curl. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix Mayo Dip ingredients thoroughly. Sprinkle with cilantro if using and serve with Mayo Dip if desired. To Air Fry: Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Without melting butter, mix ingredients as directed. Use a spatula or knife to coat the corn side of each rib with the butter mixture. Place corn ribs in air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 10-15 minutes, or until corn is cooked, and corn ribs start to crisp and curl. To Grill: Preheat grill to medium-high. Place prepared corn ribs on the grill. After 8 minutes, flip and brush with your favorite BBQ sauce. Cook for 6-8 more minutes, or until corn is cooked, and corn ribs start to caramelize and curl. Brush with additional sauce if desired, sprinkle with cilantro if using, and serve.
