Air Fryer Corn Recipe
Description
The recipe begins by peeling back and removing the husks and silk from four ears of corn, rinsing them clean. They are then coated with olive oil and seasoned with salt, pepper, and paprika. Cooking in the air fryer at 370°F for about 12-15 minutes cooks the corn evenly and caramelizes the kernels slightly. The cooked corn is topped with butter for richness, a sprinkle of finely grated Parmesan adds savory umami, and chopped cilantro for fresh herbal brightness.
The dish highlights the natural sweetness and crisp-tender texture of fresh corn with subtle smoky and savory layers. It works well as a simple side dish at any meal or a snack with bold seasoning.
