Ingredients
  • Frozen corn on the cob: You can use store bought frozen corn on the cob from the frozen veggie aisle. Pick your favorite brand. You can also freeze your own corn on the cob during the summer months and enjoy them year round. We love freezing our own corn.
  • Seasonings: We used a dab of butter and a sprinkle of salt on each air fried corn on the cob. You can also sprinkle cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes on top to make the corn spicy. You can also use cotija cheese to add a Mexican flare. Lemon juice would also add a spark of fresh bright flavor.

Tips for success

  • Best corn: Freeze your own summer fresh corn to use them the whole year. It’s easy. This is how to do it – remove the husk, you can cut the corn on the cob into two halves or leave them whole. Layer a baking sheet with parchment paper, arrange the fresh corn on the cob in a single layer on the baking sheet. Freeze them first. Than pop the frozen corn into ziplock bags and store them in the freezer. Homemade frozen corn on the cob taste so much better.
  • Charred and crispy corn on the cob: Air fry corn on the cob a little longer to get the charred and crispy texture just like grilled corn of the cob. Check frequently so that the corn doesn’t burn.
  • Cut calories: If you are on a healthy diet season the air fried corn on the cob with few drops of extra virgin olive oil instead of butter, lemon juice, salt and red pepper flakes. So good!
