Set Temperature: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3-5 minutes.
Step 2: Prepare the Corn Kernels
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.
Toss Well: Mix until all the kernels are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning.
Step 3: Air Fry the Corn
Spread in Basket: Pour the seasoned corn kernels into the air fryer basket. Spread them out into a single layer for even cooking.
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
Garnish: Optionally sprinkle with parmesan cheese or a squeeze of lemon juice for added flavor.
Serve Hot: Enjoy as a side dish, snack, or add to salads, tacos, or grain bowls.
Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Corn
Even Coating: Ensure the kernels are well-coated with oil and seasoning to prevent sticking and enhance flavor.
Shake the Basket: Shaking halfway through helps cook the kernels evenly and prevents burning.
No Thawing Required: Cook the corn directly from frozen for the best texture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve as a side dish with grilled meats or roasted vegetables.
Add to a salad, grain bowl, or taco for extra flavor and texture.
Top with fresh herbs, butter, or hot sauce for a delicious twist.
