Air Fryer Corn on the Cob

by
1. Prepare the Corn
  1. Husk the Corn:
    • Remove the husks and silk from the corn. Rinse the ears under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
  2. Cut the Corn (Optional):
    • If the ears of corn are too large to fit in your air fryer basket, you can cut them in half. Some air fryers have a larger capacity, so cutting is not always necessary.
2. Season the Corn
  1. Prepare the Seasoning:
    • In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil or melted butter, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and dried parsley (if using).
  2. Coat the Corn:
    • Brush or rub the seasoning mixture evenly over all sides of the corn. Make sure each ear is well-coated.
3. Air Fry the Corn
  1. Arrange the Corn:
    • Place the seasoned corn in the air fryer basket. Arrange them in a single layer, leaving space between each ear for even cooking. You may need to cook in batches if your air fryer is not large enough.
  2. Cook:
    • Air fry the corn at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes. Flip the corn halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning and crispiness.
  3. Check for Doneness:
    • The corn should be tender and have a slight char on the outside. If you prefer a more pronounced char, you can air fry for an additional 1-2 minutes.
4. Serve
  1. Garnish (Optional):
    • After removing the corn from the air fryer, you can brush it with a little more melted butter and sprinkle with additional salt, pepper, or fresh herbs if desired.
  2. Enjoy:
    • Serve the corn on the cob warm. It’s perfect as a side dish for barbecues, grilled meats, or as a standalone snack.

Tips for Success

  • Uniform Cooking: Ensure the corn is arranged in a single layer and avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to achieve even cooking.
  • Adjust Time: Depending on the size of your corn and the capacity of your air fryer, you may need to adjust the cooking time slightly.
  • Seasoning Variations: Feel free to experiment with different seasonings such as chili powder, Parmesan cheese, or fresh herbs to customize the flavor.
