Air Fryer Frozen Corn On The Cob
Description
This Air Fryer Frozen Corn On The Cob recipe uses frozen ears of corn cooked at 180°C (360°F) for 12 minutes, yielding corn that is heated through and softened. After this initial cook, the corn is removed, seasoned with salt and pepper, and butter is added to enhance flavor and moisture. The corn then returns to the air fryer for 3 more minutes at a higher temperature (200°C/400°F), which allows the butter to melt fully and coat the corn while slightly roasting the surface for added taste.
This approach means you can achieve cooked corn with a subtle roasted note without the need for traditional boiling or grilling. The butter added at the end enriches the flavor and adds a creamy mouthfeel, while the seasoning accentuates the natural sweetness of the corn. The process is efficient, using the air fryer’s convection heat to cook the corn directly from frozen.
The instructions note that the last 3 minutes of cooking are optional if you want to minimize fat added. The recipe is simple and convenient for a quick vegetable side using kitchen tools commonly available.
Ingredients
Kitchen Gadgets:
- Air Fryer
Recipe Ingredients:
- 6 corn on the cob frozen
- 2 Tsp butter
- salt
- black pepper
Instructions
- Place your frozen corn on the cob into the air fryer basket and cook for 12 minutes at 180c/360f.
- When the air fryer beeps remove the corn. Place a layer of silver foil into your air fryer basket and then sit your cooked corn on the cob over it. Season your corn with salt and pepper and add a little bit of butter to each corn.
- Cook for a further 3 minutes at 200c/400f. When the air fryer beeps roll your corn in the butter that has dropped down into the silver foil.
Notes
- The final 3 minutes in the air fryer add butter flavor and slight roasting, but can be skipped for a lower-fat option as the corn cooks fully in the first 12 minutes.
- Butter enhances the flavor; omit or reduce it for dietary preferences.
- Frozen corn cooks well directly in the air fryer, eliminating the need for boiling or grilling.
