Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 390℉ for 4-5 minutes.
  • Place each ear of corn on a piece of aluminum foil large enough to wrap it completely. Place 1 tablespoon of butter on each ear of corn.
  • Sprinkle each ear of corn with salt, dividing it evenly among them. Then, wrap each corn tightly in the aluminum foil.
  • Place the wrapped corn in the air fryer basket, arranging them in a single layer. Cook in the air fryer at 390℉ for 10 minutes.
  • After 10 minutes, carefully unwrap the corn and return them to the air fryer basket. Cook uncovered for an additional 3 minutes to allow the corn to develop a slight char. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Always preheat the air fryer for even cooking. This helps the corn develop a crisp exterior while locking in the juiciness of the kernels.
  • Cut the ears in half if the corn is too long for your air fryer basket. This ensures they fit snugly and cook evenly.
  • Cooking times can vary based on the size of the ears and the air fryer model. Start checking around the 10-minute mark to avoid overcooking.
