Gather your ingredients.
Before you air fry your corn, you’ll need to stock up on the following ingredients. Brooks suggests these specific seasonings, but you can pick out your favorites from your kitchen cabinet. When choosing corn, Brooks says, “Fresh, sweet corn works best. You’ll get the juiciest, sweetest results.”
Ingredients
- Fresh corn on the cob
- Olive oil or melted butter
- Salt
- Pepper
- Optional: garlic powder, paprika or any of your favorite seasonings.
Prepare the corn.
- Preheat your air fryer to 380 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes.
- Brush each ear of corn with olive oil or melted butter. This will help the corn cook evenly and give it a crispy texture.
- Season the corn with salt, pepper and any additional seasonings you prefer.
Cook the corn.
- Place the corn in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Depending on the size of your basket, you may need to cut it in half if it doesn’t fit comfortably.
- Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, turning the corn halfway through cooking to ensure even cooking. When cooked, the corn should be lightly browned and tender.
The final touch.
- Once the corn is cooked, brush it with more melted butter if desired.
- Sprinkle with additional salt or your favorite finishing touches, like grated Parmesan cheese, chopped herbs, or a squeeze of lime juice.
- To try different flavors and seasonings, consider using a spice blend like Cajun powder or chili powder or an herb blend like thyme and rosemary.
