Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 ears of corn
Seasonings and Toppings:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Garnish:
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Prepare the air fryer by setting the temperature to 370°F, ensuring the appliance is clean and ready for cooking.
- Carefully examine the corn ears and trim the ends to guarantee a perfect fit within the air fryer basket, allowing for even cooking.
- Arrange the corn ears in a single, uncrowded layer inside the basket, preventing any overlapping that could disrupt the cooking process.
- Slide the basket into the air fryer and set the cooking time for approximately 12 to 15 minutes, creating a golden and tender result.
- Midway through the cooking cycle, pause the air fryer and gently shake the basket to promote uniform heat distribution and prevent potential burning.
- Verify the corn’s readiness by checking for a tender texture and a subtle golden-brown exterior that signals perfect doneness.
- Once cooked, immediately transfer the corn to a serving platter, allowing diners to customize with their preferred seasonings, butter, herbs, or additional toppings.
Notes
- Corn size matters, so choose medium-sized ears for even cooking and consistent results.
- Brush with olive oil or melted butter before air frying to enhance flavor and prevent drying out.
- Experiment with different seasonings like chili powder, garlic salt, or herbs to customize your corn.
- For those avoiding dairy, use plant-based butter alternatives or olive oil for a vegan-friendly version.
