We love corn on the cob in my household. And knowing this new trick of making the best corn on the cob in air fryer is a bliss. Making me want to make them every so often.
Happy to hear that, Devy!
All I can say is THANK YOU!!!
This corn tastes amazing.
My eldest daughter is going through a “stage” (insert eyeroll!) and she will only eat vegetables if they have been roasted or cooked on the grill. I get it, I know they have loads more flavor that way, but I am a busy working mum of 5, I don’t want to be firing up the grill on a random Tuesday night!!!
I have taught her how to do it herself and she has been in charge of veg for the last fortnight, it has been great, she is engaged and she is eating veg.
But last night she was revising for a chemistry test and so I let her off making veg. That is when I found your recipe. Corn in the air fryer, just as good as roasted or grilled! She ate 2 whole cobs!
THANK YOU
That’s amazing, Claire!
