I've traditionally steamed or boiled corn, which can be time-consuming and yield inconsistent results. Discovering that air-frying corn produces excellent outcomes was a delightful surprise.
Ideas, Advice and Suggestions
Corn – Fresh corn is delightful. I often purchase coblets when available, but you may opt to keep them whole if that's your preference.
Olive oil – Any mild-flavored oil can be used as a substitute if you don't have olive oil.
Salt and Pepper – The amount of salt and pepper you use depends on your preference. I used coarse salt from a grinder and white pepper.
