Ingredients

4 ears sweet corn
1 Tablespoon melted butter, extra virgin olive oil, or vegetable oil
salt and pepper

Instructions

Preheat the Air Fryer to 390 degrees, or the closest temperature setting to 390 degrees on your model. If necessary, trim the tips off the corn cobs or cut them in half with a very sharp knife so they fit inside the Air Fryer basket.
Add the cleaned corn cobs to a baking dish then drizzle with butter/oil and season with salt and pepper. Shake the dish or use tongs to evenly coat the cobs in the oil and seasonings then place them inside the Air Fryer basket. Air fry for 8-10 minutes or until tender, shaking the basket or using tongs to rotate the cobs halfway through. Note: the kernels will continue to soften slightly after Air Frying.
Transfer the air fried corn cobs to a platter or plate then serve, or slice the kernels off the cob and serve.

Notes

You CAN Air Fry the corn cobs without butter or oil — the seasoning just won’t stick to the corn.
