Air Fryer Sweetcorn Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 4 ears of sweetcorn
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional seasonings: garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, or herbs like parsley or cilantro
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, peel back the husks of the sweetcorn but leave them attached at the base. Remove the silk threads from the corn.
- Brush the corn with melted butter or olive oil. Make sure to coat the entire surface of each ear.
- Season the corn with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. You can experiment with different flavors based on your preferences.
- Place the sweetcorn in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to do this in batches if your air fryer is small.
- Cook the sweetcorn in the air fryer for about 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time. The exact cooking time may vary depending on the size and freshness of the corn, so keep an eye on it to prevent overcooking.
- Once the corn is golden brown and cooked through, remove it from the air fryer and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Serve the air fryer sweetcorn as a side dish or as a topping for salads, tacos, or other dishes. You can also serve it with additional melted butter or sprinkle some grated cheese on top if desired.
Notes:
- Adjust the cooking time based on the size and freshness of the sweetcorn. Older or larger ears of corn may require a longer cooking time, while smaller or fresher corn may cook more quickly.
- If you prefer a charred or roasted flavor, you can cook the sweetcorn for a few extra minutes in the air fryer.
- Feel free to experiment with different seasonings and spices to enhance the flavor of the sweetcorn. You can try adding garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, or your favorite herbs to customize the taste.
- If you don’t have an air fryer, you can try grilling the sweetcorn on a preheated grill or roasting it in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes.
- Remember to handle the hot corn with care when removing it from the air fryer. Use oven mitts or tongs to avoid burns.
Enjoy your delicious air fryer sweetcorn!
