Ingredients:

  • 4 medium ears of sweet corn, shucked
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp flaky sea salt
  • ¼ tsp freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Remove all husks and silk from the corn. Pat each ear completely dry with a paper towel.
  2. Whisk together the melted butter and olive oil in a small bowl.
  3. Use a silicone brush to apply a thin, even layer of the butter mixture to all sides of each ear.
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  5. Place corn in the basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not crowded to allow air circulation.
  6. Air fry for 12–15 minutes, rotating the ears 90 degrees every 5 minutes until kernels are bright yellow with golden-brown charred spots.
  7. Immediately upon removal, sprinkle with flaky sea salt and cracked black pepper while the butter is still sizzling.
