Air Fryer Corn on the Cob

I never thought corn on the cob could get any better until I discovered the air fryer method. After years of boiling and grilling, this technique has completely changed how our family enjoys this classic side dish. The first time I tried it, I was skeptical—could an air fryer really improve something so simple?

The answer is absolutely yes. The air fryer creates corn with a perfect texture: tender kernels with just enough bite, and those beautiful caramelized spots that intensify the natural sweetness. What I appreciate most is how quick it is compared to waiting for a pot of water to boil or heating up the grill. Just a little brush of butter, a sprinkle of salt, and in minutes, we have delicious corn ready to eat.

My daughter, who used to pick at her corn, now asks for seconds. And cleanup is minimal—no more corn silk floating in water or stuck to the grill grates. It's become our go-to method even on busy weeknights when we need a reliable vegetable side.
