Ingredients

  • 4 ears fresh corn (about 1 1/2 lb.), shucked

  • Cooking spray

  • 1 ½ tablespoon unsalted butter

  • 2 teaspoon chopped garlic

  • 1 teaspoon lime zest plus 1 Tbsp. fresh juice (from 1 lime)

  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • 2 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

  1. Lightly coat corn with cooking spray, and place in a single layer in air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F until tender and slightly charred, 14 minutes, turning corn over halfway through cooking.

  2. Meanwhile, stir together butter, garlic, lime zest, and lime juice in a small microwavable bowl. Microwave on HIGH until butter is melted and garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds. Place corn on a platter and pour over butter mixture. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and cilantro. Serve immediately.

Tips

Pick out small ears, or trim them slightly so that they fit into the air fryer basket. If you have any leftovers, cut the kernels off the cob and stir into a dip or sprinkle over a salad.
