Fast & Convenient: Ready in about 10 minutes from start to finish.
Easy Cleanup: No messy pots or greasy grills to scrub.
H2: Ingredients
2-4 Ears of Corn: Shucked and cleaned (halved if they don't fit your basket).
1 tablespoon Olive Oil or Melted Butter: To help it roast.
1/2 teaspoon Salt: To bring out the sweetness.
1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper.
Optional Finish: A sprinkle of chili powder, lime juice, or parmesan cheese.
H2: Step-by-Step Instructions
Prepare the Corn: Remove the husks and silk from the corn. If the ears are too long for your air fryer, simply snap or cut them in half.
Season: Rub each ear of corn with olive oil (or melted butter) and sprinkle evenly with salt and pepper.
Preheat: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
Arrange: Place the corn in the air fryer basket. Ensure there is space between them for the air to circulate.
Cook: Air fry for 10–12 minutes. Make sure to flip or rotate the corn halfway through to get an even roast on all sides.
Serve: Remove carefully and spread a little extra butter on top while hot. Enjoy!
H2: Important Tips for Success
Don't Overcrowd: Cook in batches if you have a small air fryer so the air can reach all sides of the corn.
Fresh is Best: Use fresh corn for the sweetest results, though frozen (thawed) corn also works.
Check Early: Every air fryer is different; start checking at 8 minutes to prevent over-browning.
Internal Link: This corn is the perfect side dish to serve with our [Juicy Air Fryer Chicken Breast] or [Air Fryer Steak Bites].

H2: FAQ
Q: Can I cook frozen corn on the cob? A: Yes! Just make sure to thaw it first and pat it dry so it roasts instead of steams.
Q: Can I leave the husks on? A: You can, but you won't get that "roasted" charred look. For best results, we recommend shucking them first.
