Main Ingredients
- 4 ears of corn husked and cleaned
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preparation
- Husk the corn and remove all silk. Rinse under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel to ensure the seasoning sticks.

Cooking
- Using a basting brush, generously coat each ear of corn with the seasoned butter, ensuring all sides are covered.
- Preheat your air fryer to 370°F. This ensures that the corn cooks evenly and achieves a crispy texture.
- Place the seasoned corn in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10-12 minutes, turning halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Serving
- Once cooked, remove the corn from the air fryer. Optionally garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for added flavor before serving.
Storage
- Store any leftover corn in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes before serving.
