Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Corn Recipe
Description
The recipe starts by husking sweet corn ears and trimming if needed to fit the air fryer. The corn is coated evenly with softened butter and sprinkled with salt, black pepper, and minced garlic cloves or garlic powder. It is cooked at 400°F for 10 minutes, flipped halfway through, to achieve tender kernels with light browning.
Once cooked, the hot corn ears are rolled in freshly grated Parmesan cheese, which clings to the butter surface adding a savory and nutty flavor. Fresh parsley or chives are sprinkled on top to add color and a fresh herbal note. The corn is juicy with a buttery, garlicky, and cheesy taste and a slightly crisp exterior from air frying.
Frozen corn can be used but requires longer cooking. Avoid overcrowding the basket to ensure even cooking and airflow. The recipe provides a flavorful alternative to boiled or grilled corn side dishes but with less mess and quicker cleanup.
Ingredients
- 4 ears sweet corn
- 2 tablespoon butter softened, unsalted
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cloves garlic
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- parsley fresh
Instructions
- Husk the corn and cut it if needed to fit in the air fryer basket.

Notes
- Frozen corn can be used; increase cooking time by a few minutes but fresh corn yields best flavor.
- Garlic powder may substitute fresh garlic cloves if preferred.
- Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and browning.
