Corn on the cob is one of those foods that feels like pure summer — sweet, juicy, and delicious with just a little butter and salt. But when you cook it in the air fryer, it gets even better. The kernels turn slightly caramelized, the edges crisp, and the flavors deepen in a way that boiling can’t match. This recipe truly lives up to its name: the best damn air fryer corn on the cob you’ll ever taste.
