    Q&A:

    Can I use frozen corn on the cob?

    Yes. You will just need to add 2-3 minutes of extra cook time.

    Can I reheat corn on the cob in an air fryer?

    Yes. To reheat, preheat your air fryer to 360 degrees Fahrenheit. Once the air fryer is heated, add the corn and heat for 4 to 5 minutes until warm.

    Can you put foil wrapped corn in air fryer?

    Yes, you can put foil wrapped corn in the air fryer. This will make it more like boiled corn on the cob. For this recipe, we don’t wrap the corn in foil because we want it to roast which makes the corn really sweet, crisp, and delicious.

    What To Serve With Air Fryer Corn On The Cob:

    Corn on the cob makes an excellent side dish to mains like meatloaf, hamburgers, steak, and pork chops. In the summertime, corn on the cob makes and excellent barbecue side dish. It would also taste great alongside my Fried Cabbage with Sausage and Peppers or Instant Pot Green Beans, Potatoes, and Sausage.

    • Air Fryer
    • Basting Brush
    • Tongs

    Ingredients:

    Labeled recipe ingredients in various dishes on a white marble surface: corn on the cob, salt, and softened butter.

    Recipe Variations And Substitutions:

    • Parmesan corn on the cob - Roll your corn in some parmesan cheese. It’s delicious!
    • Mexican Street Corn - Once the corn is done brush with mayo, sprinkle with chili powder, cotija cheese and a squeeze of lime juice.
    • Make it spicy by sprinkling on some cayenne pepper

    Seasonings To Try:

    Here are some seasonings that taste amazing on corn on the cob. Try one of these sprinkled over your corn:

    • Lemon Pepper
    • Smoked Paprika
    • Chili Powder
    • Garlic Powder
    • Rosemary
    • Thyme
    • Parsley

    Storage And Reheating Instructions:

    • Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
    • To reheat, preheat the air fryer to 360 degrees Fahrenheit and heat the corn for 4 to 5 minutes until warm.

    Pro Tips:

    • The air fryer I used to test this recipe was my Instant Vortex Plus 6 quart. You may need to cook the corn for a little longer or less based on the air fryer you are using. Be sure to check on the corn halfway through the cooking process. The corn is done when tender and slightly browned on the edges.
    • Break corn in half if needed to fit into the air fryer.

      I wasn’t sure how this would turn out but it turned out great! I was so surprised! It reminded me of grilled corn....I added Cajun seasoning along with the butter…so good.

      Can you do this with frozen corn? If so how would the instructions change?
