How to serve air fryer corn on the cob?
While this dish is absolutely delicious with just salt and pepper, I highly recommend brushing it with seasoned butter. Corn and butter always go together!
Can I make it ahead of time?
Cooked corn on the cob is best served right away. It has the best texture and flavor. However, if you have leftovers, you can always reheat it in the air fryer for 5 minutes.
