Notes
[‘Pat corn dry after rinsing to ensure crispiness.’, ‘Use butter for richer flavor or olive oil for a lighter option.’, ‘Flip corn halfway through cooking for even browning.’, ‘Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to maintain crisp texture.’, ‘Customize with spices like smoked paprika or fresh herbs for extra flavor.’, ‘If air fryer basket is small, cook corn in batches.’, ‘Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 minutes to restore crispness.’, ‘Frozen corn on the cob can be used but may require extra cooking time and patting dry.’]
