Air Fryer Corn on the Cob – Sweet and crisp corn on the cob made in the air fryer in less than 10 minutes!
Summer is in full swing and we’ve really been enjoying this warm weather in the Midwest! Over the 4th of July we’ll be hosting lots of family and friends up at our lake cabin and when it’s hot out, the last thing you want to do is turn on your oven or stove burners when preparing meals.
We grill out a lot when we’re up at the lake, and lately, I’ve been using the air fryer to help prepare side dishes. This Air Fryer Corn on the Cob is the perfect side to burgers, pork chops, chicken and more! In the summer, I often eat corn on the cob as my main dish. It’s one of my favorite summer foods!
Prepping the Corn
You’ll want to start with husked and trimmed ears of corn. I’ve found that four ears of corn are the perfect amount to cook at one time. You don’t want to stack the cobs. They should all lay flat and have their own space in the fryer.
You’ll want to liberally spray the ears of corn with a nonstick cooking spray like Pam. I looked in my pantry to see if I had the butter-flavored Pam but I didn’t, so I just opted to use the original.
Season the corn with salt and pepper to your taste and then place the ears in the air fryer basket.
In less than 10 minutes, you’ll have sweet, crisp ears of corn! Butter them up and enjoy!!
Corn on the cob is such a gorgeous representation of summer and a great choice when you’re serving a larger group of guests.
I can’t wait to spend time with friends and family over the 4th. This Air Fryer Corn on the Cob will definitely be part of the celebration!

Tried this recipe tonight. Delicious! The air fryer almost gave it a ‘right off the bbq grill
kind of taste.
Yum! And I love that you can use it year round!
Salt and pepper on a big plate before you put them into air fryer. Don’t use pam to spray them unless you do it before you put them IN the airfryer. You don’t want pam inside the unit. Trust me. Olive oil in sprayer does the trick or reg. oil Yummy
Absolutely perfect. Up until now I have been enjoying COTC in the instant pot but this is so much better. Thanks for sharing.
