Corn on the cob cooks in an air fryer at 190°C (375°F) for 14~16 min. Preheat first, and flip once halfway. Deep yellow kernels with a few browned spots
Air-fried corn lands between boiled and grilled: the surface moisture goes, the sweetness concentrates, and the scorched spots add a toasty note. Butter it after cooking, not before — butter burns.
For one raw cob. Pre-boiled corn needs only eight minutes; frozen needs about eighteen.

What usually goes wrong
- Buttering before cooking — it burns
- Putting it in wet — it steams and loses the roasted aroma
- Not turning it — only one side chars
