Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 4 corn cobs green leaves removed and rinsed under cold water
  • 4 Tbsp. salted butter
  • 2 tsp. sea salt
  • 2 tsp. black pepper
  • 4 sheets aluminum foil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your air fryer to 400 °F (200 °C) for 5 minutes while preparing the corn cobs.

    4 corn cobs, 4 Tbsp. salted butter, 2 tsp. sea salt, 2 tsp. black pepper, 4 sheets aluminum foil
  • Place the corn cobs in the air fryer, butter side up. Air fry the corn cobs for 10 minutes at 400 °F (200°C) and then flip them. Flip them with tongs or by grabbing the foil ends of the corn cobs that will be cooler.
  • Air fry for another 5 minutes at 400 °F (200°C). Once the air fryer is done, leave the corn cobs in the air fryer for 5 minutes to cook a little more and cool slightly.
  • Remove, open the foil carefully and serve with more butter and seasonings!

Notes

Storage
Store any leftover corn on the cobs in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days. You can store them in the foil or without the foil. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes at 380 °F (180 °C) or microwave them. Don't use foil in the microwave!
These ingredients don't stand up well to freezing.
