Air Fryer Corn on the Cob

Air Fryer Corn on the Cob is ridiculously delicious – the air fryer seals in the corn’s natural flavor. Brushed with honey butter, it is the ultimate summer treat.

I’m a Midwestern girl, born and bred in Ohio. I always look forward to corn on the cob being in season. I can make an entire meal out of it. Just fresh corn, butter and salt. I would always boil my corn in a big pot of water. I’ve seen recipes like this one, but never tried it. But then the other day I stuck a few ears in my air fryer. My other revelation is that melted honey butter is the absolute best topping for corn on the cob. Let me just say, WOW! Just 10 minutes to perfect corn on the cob. You’ve got to try Air Fryer Corn on the Cob!

How to Air Fry Corn on the Cob

• Shuck the ears of corn
• Rinse the corn under cold water and remove the corn silk
• Place the corn in the air fryer basket
• No need to season or turn the corn during cooking
• Cook the corn at 375 degrees F for 10 -12 minutes
• Brush the cooked corn with melted honey butter

Honey Butter for Air Fryer Corn on the Cob

I’m not sure what made me think of the combination. But honey butter on fresh corn on the cob is a match made in heaven. I personally added some red pepper flakes to my honey butter. I like a little heat on pretty much every type of food. So the flakes are optional. But the honey butter is not.
