Ingredients

▢ 3-4 ears sweet corn on the cob Fresh or frozen

Instructions

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. Turn the air fryer on to 380°F/190°C 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!

Notes

There is no need to preheat the air fryer when making corn on the cobb.
If making frozen corn on the cobb, allow it to thaw for 30 minutes at room temperature first. Air fry as directed in the recipe, adding 2-4 extra minutes of cooking time.
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.
Pro Tip: This recipe can be made in the air fryer unit with a basket or the air fryer oven. If you are using the air fryer oven, use the middle rack and select the "Air Fry" function.
Pro Tip: Check your food as it cooks. Each air fryer runs a bit differently. Sometimes air frying is a trial and error process. Check your food as it cooks to learn your air fryer better! When cooking a new recipe or food items be sure to check your food often to help avoid over/under cooking.
