Equipment
- air fryer
- sharp knife
- cutting board
- large mixing bowl
- tongs
Ingredients
- 6 ears of corn, husked and cleaned
- olive oil or avocado oil spray
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1.5 tbsp Cajun seasoning
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 3/4 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp brown sugar
- 3/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- Husk and thoroughly clean each ear of corn. Cut each ear into 3–4 bite-sized pieces (about 1.5 inches each) and pat completely dry.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Arrange corn pieces in a single layer and lightly spray with oil.
- Cook for 5 minutes, flip, spray the other side, and cook another 5 minutes. Continue cooking 1–2 minutes per side until golden and crispy (about 13–14 minutes total).
- In a large bowl, melt the butter and whisk in the Cajun seasoning until fully combined.
- Transfer hot corn to the bowl and toss thoroughly until evenly coated. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
Pat the corn completely dry before cooking to achieve maximum crispiness. Adjust cayenne pepper to control heat level. For dairy-free preparation, substitute butter with plant-based margarine. Corn can be roasted in the oven at 425°F for about 20 minutes or deep-fried for 4–5 minutes until golden. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in the air fryer or oven to maintain texture.
