How to make corn in your air fryer
You will not need much- just corn, some butter and some salt( we don’t salt our corn on a cob thought, it already so sweet and tasty!)
Honestly i am not a huge fan of cleaning the corn. I like to get lazy and buy already cleaned corn, but hey, its twice more expensive!

How to freeze corn
When i buy it in bulk in a summertime, i take time to freeze as much as i can for winter. All i do is i am cleaning the corn and place it in the zip lock bag. Try to push all the air out of the bag before closing it.
Here is a little trick i want to share with you, i learned it from my friends dad. Grab a plastic straw, place one side in the bag, leave a little opening and try to suck most of the air out of the bag. The effect is similar to a vacuum sealer, the result will surprise you!
Keep frozen corn in the freezer or up to 6 months. Then use it on soup, grill it or boil! No defrosting needed.

Had some corn on the cob I needed to cook. Didn't want to heat up the bbq for just a few ears, so opted to try your recipe I had saved. So easy, fast and comes out great! We like to spread our corn on the cob with mayonnaise and Tajin - delicious

Thank you for sharing this. I am new to the air fryer thing but it seems to be working. Typically I grill my corn in its husk after soaking it for 5+ hours, but I cooked chicken on the grill the other night and am allergic to chicken and didn’t feel like cleaning it. I hope this works out and will continue the recipe if it does.
Thank you

Spray french fries with a little canola or olive oil and cook turning fries over once to even out cooking.
