Equipment

  • 1 air fryer

Ingredients

  • 2 ears corn on the cob or more but 2 full size fit at a time, without husks
  • 2 tbsp butter melted
  • 1 pinch salt to taste

Instructions

  • Cut 1.5" off of tip of each ear of corn. Remove husks and silks from ears of corn.
  • Generously rub olive oil all over 2 ears of corn and put inside air fryer basket. (optional, can omit if you prefer but it will keep kernels moist)
  • Close air fryer lid and set to 390 degrees for 8 minutes total.
  • Flip ears of corn half way through cooking process.
  • At end of time if you want kernels a bit softer just add 2 more minutes or so. Add another 2 ears in if you have additional batches.
  • Melt butter and pour over ears of corn when they're all done. Season with salt, pepper and paprika. Some grated parmesan is good too.
