Air Fryer Corn On The Cob
Whether you choose to serve air fryer corn on the cob as is or embellish it with melted butter and a sprinkle of salt, it makes for a timeless summer side dish that beautifully complements practically any main course you've prepared.
Ingredients
- 1 to 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 ears of corn
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt plus extra for serving
Instructions
- Cut 1 to 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter into 4 pieces and let them come to room temperature while you prepare the corn.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400ºF. Meanwhile, remove the husks from 4 ears of corn and, if needed, halve them to fit in the air fryer in a single layer.
- Rub each corn cob with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt over them. Place them in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they don't overlap (you might need to do this in batches).
- Air fry the corn, flipping them halfway through, until they are tender and lightly charred around the edges. This usually takes 6 to 8 minutes in total. Once done, coat the corn with the room-temperature butter and add more kosher salt if desired.
