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

Instructions
 

  • Cut corn ends if needed to fit your air fryer basket or cut in half for smaller air fryers.
  • Coat corn with oil spray, especially the ends, if using only one bacon strip per ear.
  • Wrap bacon tightly around the corn, securing both ends with toothpicks inserted sideways to minimize protrusion.
  • Season the bacon-wrapped corn with salt and black pepper to taste.
  • 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.
  • 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.
