  3. Coat the corn ribs in the seasoning mixture ensuring even coverage on all sides.
  4. Air-fry at 180°C (355°F) for 15-20 minutes or bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes until golden and crispy.
  5. Melt vegan butter in a small pan over low heat, stir in Aleppo chili flakes and infuse for a few minutes.
  6. Mix vegan cream cheese, lime zest, and lime juice until smooth; chill until corn is done.
  7. Serve corn ribs topped with Aleppo chili butter, lime zest cream cheese, and sprinkle with pine nuts, green onion, and fresh herbs.
