Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 fresh ears of corn, shucked and cleaned
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Oil spray or olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder

Method
 

  1. Remove leaves and silk from the corn. Cut ends to fit air fryer basket, or in half if needed.
  2. Coat all sides of the corn with oil spray or olive oil. Season generously with salt and black pepper.
  3. Air Fry at 370°F (188°C) for 12-16 minutes, flipping halfway through, until kernels are tender and lightly browned.
  4. Once cooked, spread softened butter all over the hot corn. Add additional seasonings if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

- Ensure all corn silk is removed before air frying to prevent burning.
- For extra flavor, consider adding garlic powder or paprika along with the salt and pepper.
- If your corn is very large, cutting it in half can ensure more even cooking.
