Air Fryer Corn on the Cob

 Air Fryer Corn on the Cob is a quick and easy way to cook delicious, tender corn with a slightly crispy exterior. Using the air fryer enhances the flavor and texture, giving you a perfect side dish in just minutes. Here’s how to make it:

Ingredients:

2 ears of corn (shucked and husked)

1-2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: garlic powder, paprika, or Parmesan cheese for extra flavor

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Air Fryer:

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3-5 minutes to ensure even cooking.

2. Prepare the Corn:

Shuck the corn, removing the husks and silk. Pat the corn dry with a paper towel.

Rub the corn with olive oil or melted butter, ensuring it's evenly coated. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and any optional seasonings you like.

3. Air Fry the Corn:

Place the prepared corn in the air fryer basket. Make sure there is space between the ears of corn for air circulation.

Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, turning the corn halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crisping and tenderness.

4. Check for Doneness:

After 10-12 minutes, check the corn. It should be golden and slightly crispy on the outside. You can cook it for an additional 2-3 minutes if you prefer it more charred or crispier.

5. Serve:

Once cooked, remove the corn from the air fryer and let it cool for a couple of minutes.

Serve with additional butter, salt, or your favorite seasonings.

Tips:

Flavor Variations: Add garlic powder, smoked paprika, or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese before or after air frying for extra flavor.

Wrap in Foil: For a softer, more steamed texture, you can wrap the corn in foil before air frying.

Smaller Batches: If cooking multiple ears of corn, you may need to do it in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
