Air Fryer Corn on the Cob
Description
This Air Fryer Corn on the Cob recipe uses whole corn ears brushed with olive oil, cooked in an air fryer preheated to 400°F. Turning the corn during the 10-12 minute cooking time ensures even browning and roasting of the kernels. The result is corn that has a tender bite with subtle caramelized notes from the air frying.
After cooking, melted butter is brushed generously over the hot corn, and seasoning with salt and black pepper is optional, allowing customization. This approach provides an alternative to boiling or grilling corn by using the air fryer, suitable for quick preparation and smaller quantities without heating a grill or stove.
The recipe suggests preheating the air fryer before cooking and allowing for batches if needed. Corn can be kept warm in the air fryer set at 170°F until serving. Butter is best melted and applied by brushing for even coverage. Nutritional information excludes optional butter and seasonings.
