Notes

Use Fresh Corn. For best tasting results use fresh corn. I like to get the cobs that already have the husks and silks removed. Saves some time.
Don't skip the oil. Make sure you brush the corn with oil to give that gorgeous caramelization golden color on the kernels. I've used avocado oil as well.
Don't Over Fill Basket. When cooking corn on the cob in air fryer, place the cobs in a single layer, not over stuffing the basket.
