Here in Kansas, we thoroughly enjoy the corn season. I often make my Fresh Corn Salad and my whole family enjoys it!

This Air Fryer Corn on the Cob cooks in 12 minutes and the results are mouth-watering!
We always brush cooked corn on the cob with butter and for this dish, I had to include it. I added garlic powder, paprika, and parsley and it took the dish to a new level. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
