The ingredients
Air frying corn on the cob is so easy and doesn’t require lots of ingredients.
- Corn on the cob. I suggest using fresh corn on the cobs. Frozen corn also works; however, fresh tastes better

How to make air fryer corn on the cob
- Brush the husked and trimmed corn ears with melted butter and seasonings
- Place the corn in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook for 10 minutes, flipping with tongs halfway through cooking. Depending on your air fryer, and the size of the corn, you may need to add an additional 3-4 minutes to cook time
