Description
A quick air fryer method to transform frozen corn on the cob into sweet, tender cobs with a golden, slightly charred exterior. The garlic butter and olive oil blend adds richness while preserving freshness, making this a foolproof side for weeknights or summer meals.
Ingredients
4 ears frozen corn on the cob
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Remove husks and silk from frozen corn on the cob
Place corn in the air fryer basket in a single layer
Spray air fryer with non-stick cooking spray, then cook at 320°F for 6 minutes without brushing
Combine melted butter, olive oil, garlic powder, and sea salt in a small bowl
Brush the garlic butter mixture evenly over the corn cobs
Cook at 370°F for 8-10 minutes, turning halfway for even charring
Notes
No oil is needed in the basket prior to cooking. Ensure corn is dry before brushing with the sauce for better caramelization. Optional toppings: fresh lime juice or dairy-free cashew cheese (10 minutes extra preparation time). For halal-friendly butter blends, use plant-based alternatives.
