Ingredients

4 corn on the cob
1 tablespoon Melted unsalted butter, olive or vegetable oil
Salt and Pepper, to taste optional
Flavored butters see recipe notes

Items used

Air fryer

Instructions

Brush corn evenly with melted butter or oil. If you are not planning to use any compound butters later, then season the cobs with salt and pepper.
Pre heat air fryer to 400°F for 12 minutes. When hot, place corn and cook for 10 to 12 minutes (turning once half way through), or until cooked through and you see a few golden spots on the corn.
Tip: How to know when it's done? Use a sharp knife to poke on one of the kernels. It is done when it feels tender. Continue cooking for a few more minutes, if it feels tough.
Remove from air fryer and liberally brush any of the following butters. Serve hot!
