Corn on the cob in air fryer is a quick and easy way to enjoy perfectly roasted, juicy corn with a slight char. The airfryer cooks the corn evenly, bringing out its natural sweetness while giving it a deliciously crispy texture. This method is faster than boiling and gives better flavor than steaming!
Cooking corn on the cob in air fryer is a great alternative to boiling or grilling because it saves time and enhances the flavor. The airfryer ensures even cooking, making the corn juicy on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside. Plus, you don’t need to heat up the grill or boil water, making cleanup much easier.
Prepare the corn
Remove the husks and silk from the corn. Rinse and pat dry to remove excess moisture.
Season the corn
Rub each ear of corn with olive oil, salt, and pepper. For extra flavor, add garlic powder, smoked paprika, or butter.
Cook in the airfryer
Preheat the airfryer to 200°C (400°F). Place the corn in the airfryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Serve and enjoy
Remove the corn from the airfryer and serve immediately. For extra flavor, brush with melted butter and sprinkle with fresh herbs or Parmesan cheese.
For extra smoky flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika before cooking. If you prefer softer corn, wrap it in foil before air frying. To make Mexican-style elote, spread mayonnaise, sprinkle with cotija cheese, and drizzle with lime juice after cooking.
