Air-fryer corn is a simple and delicious way to enjoy corn and is easy to make just like the name suggests. Corn is a versatile snack and what's not to love about it right? A stovetop flame, boiling water or grill to make corn requires babysitting and watching. The air fryer however makes the job very effortless. The corn from the air fryer turns out crispy, and juicy with all the flavors intact. If you have not tried it yet, I highly recommend using an air fryer to try this recipe. It sure is a winner at any barbeque and get-together.
Ingredients needed
- Fresh corn or Frozen - I used fresh corn from the grocery store. If using frozen one, it may need a little more time to cook than the fresh one.
- Organic butter, melted so it can be easily brushed onto the corn.
- Black pepper and salt to taste
Why you'll love this ?
- Hassle-free and done quickly using the air-fryer, no need to watch over it while cooking
- Tastes delicious the kernels are soft and charred up exactly right
- Great when you have guests and need some side dishes done without much effort.
Easy air-fryer corn making steps
Start by removing the husk and clean up any excess fibers that hang out. Wash it well and pat it dry with a paper towel or washcloth. Next, melt some butter and add salt and pepper to it. You can get creative and add paprika or any tangy spices you like. I only add salt and pepper as mentioned in this recipe when I make it. Brush the mixture over the corn and use a pastry brush to do the same.
Preheat the air-fryer to 370 degrees for 5 to 10 minutes and set the turn mid-way option on. Set the cooking time for 15 minutes. At around 7 minutes, the air-fryer will prompt you to turn over the food. Turn the corn over carefully using tongs be careful not to burn your hands. Brush some more butter mixture coating if you like so that it retains the moisture. Continue to cook till the rest of the total minutes are reached and that's it you are done and ready to serve. You can coat another brush of the butter bast before serving. Enjoy!
