Air fryer corn on the cob is quick and easy to make. The corn gets perfectly roasted in the air fryer, no boiling needed!
I love corn when it is all roasted. It's my favorite way to eat it. Growing up, my mom would boil the corn, then I would stick my piece in the oven to get all brown and roasted.
But now luckily there are air fryers! And cooking corn on the cob in the air fryer means that you don't need to boil it in water at all. It gets roasted up perfectly in the air fryer and gets all golden.
And it's so quick! No waiting for water to boil. No waiting for an oven to preheat. The air fried corn cooks in less than 15 minutes. Easy and delicious, and fun to customize with different seasonings.
