Ingredients
- corn2 cobs
- butter1 tbsp
- red chilli powder0.5 tsp
- lemon juice1 tbsp
- salt0.5 tsp
Method
Prep
Remove the husks and silky threads, then pat the corn fully dry. Dry cobs colour and char nicely, while wet ones just steam, so a good wipe with a towel makes all the difference to browning.
Coat
Brush the cobs all over with the butter and rub in a pinch of salt. The butter helps the kernels catch golden colour and char in spots, and it carries the salt into every row of the cob.
Place
Lay the cobs side by side in the basket with a little space between them. Gaps let the hot air reach all around each cob so it browns evenly instead of staying pale where they touch.
Air fry
Air fry at 200°C for 16 min, rolling the cobs twice, until the kernels are golden and charred in spots, then top with the red chilli powder and lemon juice just before serving.
