Equipment

air fryer
tongs
basting brush

Ingredients

2–4 fresh corn on the cob
1–2 tbsp butter or olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 2–3 minutes.
Remove husks and silk from the corn, rinse, and pat dry.
Brush each ear with butter or olive oil.
Season evenly with salt and optional black pepper.
Place corn in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
Cook for 10–12 minutes, turning halfway through cooking.
Serve immediately with extra butter or desired toppings.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking. Turn corn halfway through for best results. You can customize flavor with garlic butter, parmesan, chili powder, or lime juice. Frozen corn works well—just increase cooking time slightly. Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
