Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2-4 ears fresh corn, shucked and cleaned
  • 2-8 slices bacon
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Oil spray or olive oil
  • Toothpicks

Method
 

  1. Cut corn ends if needed to fit your air fryer basket or cut in half for smaller air fryers.
  2. Coat corn with oil spray, especially the ends, if using only one bacon strip per ear.
  3. Wrap bacon tightly around the corn, securing both ends with toothpicks inserted sideways to minimize protrusion.
  4. Season the bacon-wrapped corn with salt and black pepper to taste.
  5. Air fry at 380°F (190°C). For 2 ears: 10 minutes, flip, then 3-8 more minutes. For 4 ears: 10 minutes, flip, then 6-10 more minutes, until bacon is crisp and corn is tender.
  6. Flip once more if needed and air fry for a few more minutes until bacon is crispy on all sides. Remove toothpicks before serving. Add butter if desired.

Notes

- Use good quality bacon for the best flavor and crispiness.
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary for even crisping.
- Adjust cooking time based on your specific air fryer model and bacon thickness.
