Ingredients

2 ears fresh corn
2 tbsp melted butter or olive oil
1 clove garlic crushed
10 g fresh parsley small handful
Salt and pepper to taste

Metric - US Customary

Instructions

Firstly, peel off any husks and silk off the corn (if needed) and dice the parsley and crush the garlic.
Next, add the butter, garlic, parsley to a pan and heat until the butter melts (don’t overheat it).
Add in the corn and coat evenly with the buttery sauce. (optionally save any spare butter sauce to baste over the cooked corn at the end).
Place in the air fryer basket at 200°C (390°F) for 6 minutes, turning every 2 minutes. The corn should be tender and slightly charred in spots.
Serve with a pinch of salt and pepper over the top and extra butter sauce (optional).

Substitutions & Variations: I have included a list of these in the post above.

To Store: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer.

To Freeze: Store in an airtight container for up to four months. Defrost or put directly into the oven or air fryer.

Tip 1: Try out different variations of this corn in air fryer. You could make a parmesan butter instead of a garlic butter, for instance.

Tip 2: If you love spicy dishes, try adding chili powder or even turning this into a Mexican corn.

Tip 3: If you don’t have fresh corn, this works as an air fryer frozen corn recipe, too. Either let it defrost first or cook it a little longer in the air fryer.
