Air Fryer Roasted Corn is a great way to use your air fryer when it isn’t making crispy french fries.
I have been an owner ofAir Fryer Hot Dogs an Air Fryer for quite awhile. Maybe like you I know my air fryer does a great job on things like frozen French fries, Tator Tots, and fish sticks. Many people have been using their air fryers for so much more than heating up frozen food.
I love roasted corn, living in Texas means roasted corn is sold at fairs, at sports events, and even outside some grocery stores. Roasted sweet corn is divine. I found that I can’t quite get it just right in the oven, or even on my grill. I found that roasted corn inside of an air fryer is simply perfect.
There are many different models of air fryers. I personally have the BLACK+DECKER HF110SBD 2-Liter Oil Free Air Fryer, Black / Stainless Steel
How does an air fryer work?
You may wonder how do they work, an air fryer works well because it circulates very hot hair around your food with a minimal amount of oil. Foods don’t taste deep-fried, but they do taste really good. You get most of the crunch that you would with foods being deep-fried. The hot air circulating works as a convection oven, on steroids, and it is through this that I could roast my corn so effectively.
I can’t tell you if an air fryer is a great investment for you personally, but I can tell you I have made jalapeno poppers and hamburgers in there and they have been quite good. You may want to check out these other air fryer recipes.

I tried it this way but still like cutting ends off and leaving one layer of husks with silks left on. Microwave on high for 3 minutes, turn and one more minute on high for up to 3ears at a time. Let cool some before shucking the rest off and butter, salt, pepper and lawry’s seasoning salt. Sooo good and crisp/fresh flavor. I do like the air fryer for excellent rib eye steaks, wings and tater tots.

I don’t have an air fryer yet, but was looking for information about how they work. I’m glad I happened onto your website and watched the video for corn (one of my favorite things to eat in the summer). I will be watching for your recipes and thank you for providing them.

I made some today!! I did the EVOO and added some cumin to the spice mix was awesome
I did not add any oil to the fryer as I don’t think it is necessary.

Can the corn be touching in the fryer? I could put 4 halves in but would probably be crowded.
Stephanie says
It will be fine if it touches a bit.

I tried this last night, everyone loved them. I didn’t have any gas for the outdoor grill, and roasting the corn in the air fryer didn’t cause the kitchen to get hot.

This is fantastic! Will probably never fix corn on the cob any other way! First time followed the recipe exactly. Was great! Second time sprayed the ears with cooking spray onstead of oil. Could not tell a difference! Great recipe!!!!
