    STEP ONE: Preheat Air Fryer at 390F for 5 minutes while you prep the corn.

    STEP TWO: If needed, cut the corn to fit into the air fryer or leave it whole if it fits. Brush or spray the corn generously with olive oil. I prefer to use oil instead of melted butter since it might get burnt. I butter the corn after air frying them.

    how to make air fryer corn on the cob in foil

    If you're used to steaming or boiling fresh corn you'll love making corn on the cob in foil in the air fryer. It gives the exact same taste: tender, juicy and sweet corn on the cob and no brown spots. Here's what you need to do.

    • Brush the corn with oil or melted butter.
    • Season with salt and pepper.
    • Wrap each ear of corn with aluminum foil and place it in the Air fryer basket.
    • Air fry at 390'℉ for 10 to 12 minutes until tender.
    • Remove the corn from the air fryer and let the steam subside for a few minutes before opening foil packets.

    How To make Air Fryer frozen Corn On the Cob

    There are two ways to cook frozen corn in the air fryer. You can thaw the frozen corn and pat dry with paper towels and proceed with the rest of the recipe.

    Or you can cook it from frozen. Air fry frozen corn a few minutes extra. Don't use oil when cooking from frozen and brush with butter after.

    Topping and seasoning ideas

    Aside from salt and pepper, there are many seasonings and toppings you can use for corn on the cob.

    • Parmesan cheese
    • Mayonnaise/sour cream
    • Chili powder or cayenne pepper for heat
    • lemon or lime juice
    • Chopped cilantro or parsley
    • Cotija cheese for a Mexican flair

    I like all the variations but my favorite is to butter the corn, sprinkle some chili powder, chopped cilantro, a squeeze of lime juice and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese or some grated cheese. Lip-smackingly delicious!

    Storage and Reheating

    Store- once cooled, store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. It will last for 3 to 5 days. You can store the corn with the cob or remove the kernels with a sharp knife and store them.

    Reheat - reheat the corn in the air fryer at 390F for a few minutes until warm through.
