WHY YOU WILL LOVE MAKING CORN IN THE AIR FRYER One thing that I love about this recipe for air fryer corn on the cob is that you can use fresh sweet corn or you can cook frozen ears of corn in the air fryer. You just need to adjust the cooking time a bit depending on what kind of corn you have. 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! If you live in a place where fresh sweet corn is available at the farmer's market or a local farm stand, I hope you take advantage of that in the summer months! Fresh corn on the cob is SO GOOD. When you get tired of boiled corn, this easy air fryer corn on the cob recipe will be exactly what you need. The other thing that's great about making Corn on the Cob in the Air Fryer is that you can easily cook just 2 or 3 pieces. I love the air fryer when I'm just cooking for two, just as much as I love using it to cook for the whole family! 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. You don't need anything else - just the husked corn. 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. This can be helpful if you have a small air fryer. Place the ears of corn into the air fryer basket. Turn the air fryer on to 380°F/190°C and cook for 8-10 minutes. At the four-minute mark, remove the basket, shake the corn, and return to cooking.When the air fryer stops, remove corn carefully from the basket (it will be HOT!) Slather with salt and pepper and butter if you wish! WHAT TO SERVE WITH AIR FRYER CORN ON THE COBB Need some dinner ideas that pair well with air fried corn on the cobb?

DO I NEED TO PREHEAT THE AIR FRYER? You do not need to preheat your air fryer for corn on the cob. Air fryers generally come up to heat very quickly with the air that circulates in a small space. Preheating is helpful for some recipes, but it's not necessary for this one. DO YOU CUT EARS OF CORN IN HALF? You can leave them whole, or cut them into smaller pieces if you prefer. Some air fryers will comfortably fit full ears of corn, while it might make sense to cut them for smaller machines. HOW MANY EARS OF CORN FIT IN THE AIR FRYER? You should roast corn in the air fryer in a single layer. So this means that you can air fry as many ears of corn as you can fit without stacking them up. I can fit 4 large ears of corn in my Cosori air fryer. CAN I MAKE JUST ONE EAR OF CORN IN THE AIR FRYER? Of course! The air fryer is the perfect appliance if you're cooking for one. Sometimes if your air fryer isn't full, the cooking time needs to be reduced, so be sure to check on your corn early just in case. CAN I AIR FRY FROZEN CORN? Frozen corn in the air fryer is one of my favorite side dishes! In the winter, when I can't get fresh corn on the cob, the frozen cobs are the next best thing. Typically frozen corn comes in smaller, half ears. These fit well in most air fryers. Let the frozen ears of corn thaw for at least 30 minutes. This gives them a bit of a head start. Then cook the ears of corn as directed in the recipe, but add 2-4 minutes of extra time to air fry the frozen corn fully. Depending on your machine and how frozen your corn is you might need to add more or less time. I haven't tried air frying frozen corn kernels... yet! If you have, leave a comment and let me know. HOW LONG DO YOU COOK CORN IN AIR FRYER? It takes about 8-10 minutes to cook corn on the cob in a 380°F/190°C air fryer. Frozen corn on the cob will take 10-15 minutes in the air fryer. Very fresh sweet corn might only need 6-8 minutes to air fry. Be sure to check your food as it cooks, as all air fryers cook a bit differently. SHOULD I ADD OIL TO CORN ON THE COB IN THE AIR FRYER? Corn on the cob doesn't need any extra oil to roast up perfectly in the air fryer. You can give it a spray of olive oil or avocado oil to help it crisp up, but it is not needed.
