Ingredients
  

  • 4 ears corn shucked with silks removed
  • 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt plus additional for serving
  • Butter, ground black pepper, freshly chopped basil, chives, parsley, or cilantro, for serving

Instructions
 

  • Place the corn in a baking dish or on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with the oil, then sprinkle with salt. Rub all over to coat the corn evenly.
    Four ears of corn on the cob, with yellow and white kernels, are arranged side by side on a metal baking tray. The tray sits on a light-colored surface.
  • Arrange the corn in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook it in batches. My basket-style air fryer can hold two ears at a time.

  • Air fry at 390°F until the corn kernels are softened and the corn is lightly charred at the edges, about 12 to 15 minutes (note the kernels will continue to soften a bit as the corn cools). Halfway through the cook time, use tongs to flip the corn over so it cooks evenly.

  • Serve hot with butter, black pepper, additional salt, and herbs to taste.

Notes

  • TO STORE: Refrigerate leftover air fryer corn on the cob for up to 4 days.
  • TO REHEAT: Warm up leftovers in the air fryer until it’s heated through, or slice the corn from the cob and heat it in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave.
  • TO FREEZE: Transfer leftovers to a zip-top freezer bag and freeze for up to 1 month.
