Thanks to the air fryer, you can enjoy the toasty flavour of roasted summer corn without having to heat up your oven or fire up your grill. Simply trim the ears to fit into your air-fryer basket, coat them with nonstick spray, and cook for 10 to 12 minutes. No worries if they won’t all fit in one layer—you can stack one or two ears on top and rotate them halfway through the cook time. The perfect finishing touch is a delicious coating of lime-flavored butter and sprinkling of fresh chives.

Ingredients

Cooking spray

4 spray(s)

Uncooked sweet yellow corn
