Ingredients for making pre-cooked corn on the cob in the air fryer

- 4 knobs butter
- 4 pinches salt
- 4 pinches black pepper
- 2 corn on the cob (fresh)
Tools
- 1 Air Fryer
- 1 Aluminum 1 sheet
Procedure for pre-cooked corn on the cob
Pat the corn pieces dry with kitchen paper. Place the aluminum sheet in the air fryer basket and lay the corn on top. Season with salt, pepper, and place a knob of butter on each piece.
Set the air fryer to 392°F and start cooking the corn for 15 minutes. Halfway through, turn the corn to ensure even browning.
Serve the corn hot.
Clean the corn from the outer leaves and threads. Cut the woody part with a sharp knife and then wash and dry them well.
Place the aluminum sheet in the air fryer and lay the whole corn on top. Season with knobs of butter scattered here and there, salt, and pepper.
Cook the fresh corn in the air fryer set to 338°F for 20 minutes, turning them a couple of times. At the end of cooking, if necessary, broil at 392°F for 5 minutes.
Serve immediately.
Cut the pre-cooked corn into 3/4 inch thick rounds, spray with oil, salt, pepper, and cook at 392°F for 12 minutes, turning them a couple of times.
Additional tips for cooking corn on the cob in the air fryer
Instead of butter, you can spray the corn with extra virgin olive oil and flavor them with a mixture of sage and rosemary.
