- 4 tbsp unsalted butter divided
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes.

- Wrap each ear of corn tightly in the aluminum foil.
- Place the wrapped corn in the air fryer basket, arranging them in a single layer.
- Cook in the air fryer at 390°F (200°C) for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, carefully unwrap the corn and return them to the air fryer basket.

- Once cooked, remove the sweetcorn from the air fryer and serve hot.
Notes
1. Can I use salted butter instead of unsalted? Yes, you can use salted butter but adjust the added salt accordingly to avoid over-seasoning.
2. Can I add other seasonings or herbs to the corn?
Absolutely! Feel free to customize the seasoning with your favorite herbs or spices like garlic powder, smoked paprika, or freshly ground black pepper. 3. Can I cook more than four ears of corn at once?
Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may be able to cook more ears of corn at once. Just make sure they fit comfortably in a single layer in the basket without overcrowding. 4. Can I cook the corn without aluminum foil?
Yes, you can cook the corn directly in the air fryer basket, but using foil helps to keep the corn moist and prevents it from drying out during cooking.
