It is light, sweet, a tiny bit smoky, and full of flavor – and it seriously can’t be any easier than this super simple method for making corn on the cob.

Air frying helps circulate hot air around food quickly – it isn’t really fried, but it is a more intense heat than baking – giving foods a lovely, delicious flavor.

Corn on the cob takes a while to cook – and cooks best when not directly over the heat to prevent burning.

This is solved well by air frying to get a bit of crispy charred crunch, without overcooking the corn.

Aim for 10-18 minutes in the air fryer, checking occasionally, for doneness.

Flip corn when in air fryer to make sure corn is cooked on all sides.

Grilled corn is done when the kernels look slightly wrinkly, are soft to the touch, and have a lovely golden char to each side (be sure to flip your corn and rotate it often so it’s evenly charred on all sides.) 

If you love your air fryer as much as we do, you’re in luck!
