Air Fryer Corn on the Cob

Enjoy a sweet and crunchy treat with our easy Air Fryer Corn on the Cob Recipe!
Cooking corn on the cob in foil helps to create juicy, delicious corn without drying it out. It locks in moisture and prevents the kernels from becoming dry and tough. It also allows for more controlled cooking so that you can achieve a perfectly cooked cob of corn with less guesswork.
Upgrade your Air Fryer Corn on the Cob with delicious seasonings, like freshly ground black pepper parsley and butter, garlic powder and parmesan cheese, chilli powder and cumin, smoked paprika and sea salt, honey, lime juice, and chilli flakes.
Add some sour cream, coriander leaves or garlic mayo to give it an even more amazing flavour. Get creative and make it your own - everyone in your family will love it.
