Once thing that I love about our air fryer corn on the cob is that you can use fresh sweet corn or you can use frozen. The recipe lends its self to be adapted for either.
If you are using frozen corn, you may need to add a couple of extra minutes of cook time!
Likewise if your corn, is SUPER fresh, like just picked from the field, you will probably need to lessen the cook time!
How do you make air fryer corn on the cob
- Remove the husk and silk from the ears of corn. Rinse the corn under cool water to remove any dirt.
- Additionally, you can cut the ends off if the stalk remains attached. If you wish to cut your corn in half, you can do so now.
- Place the ears of corn into the air fryer basket. When the basket/tray is all the way into the machine turn the air fryer on to 380 degrees F and cook for 8-10 minutes. At the four minute mark, remove basket, shake and return to cooking.
- When air fryer stops, remove corn carefully from basket (it will be HOT!) Slather with salt and pepper and butter if you wish!
Air fryer Corn on the cob tips
- Do I need to preheat my air fryer? You do not need to preheat your air fryer for this recipe. Air fryers generally come up to heat very quickly with the air that circulates in a small space. No need to preheat.
- Can I use frozen corn in my air fryer? Frozen corn in air fryer? This is a great question. I have used half ears of frozen corn in my air fryer. Let the corn thaw at least 30 minutes. I adjusted the timing of my recipe by adding 3 more minutes of cook time. Depending on your machine and how frozen your corn is you might need to add more/less.
- Should I use oil on my corn? It is not necessary for you to use oil. You can give it a spray of olive oil or avocado oil to help it crisp up, but it is not needed.
