How to make Air Fryer Corn on the Cob:
**scroll down for full ingredients list and printable directions**
- Prep the fresh corn on the cob by removing the husk and all the silk. Cut about ½ inch from the bottom of the corn.
- Place the corn on the cob into the air fryer.
- I was only cooking 2 this time, but I have cooked up to 5 at a time. Just make sure they aren't touching and it's good to go.
- Lightly brush the corn with olive oil or butter all over.
- Close the air fryer and set it for 370 degrees and 8 minutes. After the 8 minutes, open the air fryer and carefully flip over using tongs. Close the set to 370 degrees and 4 more minutes.
- Once the timer goes off, open the air fryer and carefully remove the corn.
- Top with your favorite seasonings or topping. I like butter, salt, pepper, and paprika.
Making corn on the cob doesn't mean you have to eat it off the cob! Using roasted corn in various recipes is great as well. Try out these Spicy Corn Fritters or Mexican Street Corn Salad (Esquites)!
