Notes / Tips
Do not overcrowd the basket, or the corn will steam instead of char.
Pat the corn dry before seasoning so it roasts better.
Brush with butter after cooking for the best flavor and shine.
For more char, add 1–2 extra minutes at the end.
Smaller ears cook faster, so check early.
Variations
Make it chili-lime with lime juice and chili seasoning.
Add garlic parmesan for a richer savory version.
Use Cajun seasoning for a spicier air fryer corn.
Finish with fresh parsley or cilantro for a brighter flavor.
Cut each ear in half before cooking for easier serving.
