Air Fryer Frozen Corn Kernels

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer

1. Set Temperature: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3-5 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare the Corn Kernels

1. Mix in Bowl: Place the frozen corn kernels in a mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and add any optional seasonings you like.
2. Toss Well: Mix until all the kernels are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning.

Step 3: Air Fry the Corn

1. Spread in Basket: Pour the seasoned corn kernels into the air fryer basket. Spread them out into a single layer for even cooking.
2. Cook:
   • Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
   • Crispiness: The corn should be slightly crispy and golden brown when done. Adjust cooking time for desired texture.

Step 4: Serve

1. Garnish: Optionally sprinkle with parmesan cheese or a squeeze of lemon juice for added flavor.
2. Serve Hot: Enjoy as a side dish, snack, or add to salads, tacos, or grain bowls.

Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Corn

1. Even Coating: Ensure the kernels are well-coated with oil and seasoning to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.
2. Shake the Basket: Shaking halfway through helps cook the kernels evenly and prevents burning.
3. No Thawing Required: Cook the corn directly from frozen for the best texture.
