Ingredients
- 2 ears corn (shucked, with silks removed)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil (or olive oil spray)
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (room temperature)
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 5 minutes to ensure an even cooking temperature for the corn.
- Prepare the Corn: Brush each ear of corn evenly with olive oil, making sure to coat all sides. Sprinkle kosher salt over the corn to enhance flavor.
- Cook the Corn: Place the prepared corn ears into the air fryer basket. Cook for 8 minutes, then carefully flip the corn over and cook for an additional 5 minutes to achieve a tender and slightly roasted finish.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the corn from the air fryer while still warm. Spread the room temperature unsalted butter evenly over the corn. Optionally, garnish with your favorite seasonings and serve immediately for the best taste.
Notes
- Shucking and removing silks thoroughly ensures the corn cooks evenly and improves texture.
- Adjust salt and butter quantity to your taste preferences.
- For added flavor, consider sprinkling paprika, chili powder, or grated Parmesan after buttering.
- Use olive oil spray for an even lighter coating if preferred.
- The cooking time may vary slightly depending on the size of the corn ears and your specific air fryer model.
