Air Fryer Corn on the Cob

Prep Time: 2

Cook Time: 8

Total Time: 10

Serves 4

I love cooking corn on the cob in the air fryer. It's fast and easy, and the corn comes out sweet, tender, and vibrant yellow every time. I call for four ears of corn here, but feel free to scale the recipe up or down depending on the size of your air fryer. The corn cobs should fit in a single layer in the air fryer basket with a little space between them.

Ingredients

4 ears corn
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
¼ teaspoon sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Lime wedges, for squeezing, optional
Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish, optional

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
Place the corn on a large plate. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with the salt and several grinds of pepper. Rub with your hands to coat.
Place in the air fryer basket and air fry for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the kernels are bright yellow and tender.
Remove from the air fryer and squeeze with lime juice, if using. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve.
