The air fryer creates beautifully caramelized kernels with a slight char while keeping the corn juicy and sweet. Perfect for summer meals, weeknight dinners, or when you want corn on the cob without firing up the grill. Finish with your favourite seasonings like garlic butter, parmesan, or chilli lime for extra flavour!
