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.
