Description

This Air Fryer Corn On The Cob recipe features perfectly tender, bright yellow corn cooked quickly and evenly in an air fryer. Topped with a flavorful blend of crumbled feta, red onion, fresh basil, oregano, and creamy Greek yogurt, then finished with a sprinkle of paprika and fresh lemon wedges, this dish is a quick, delicious, and refreshing side perfect for any meal or summer cookout.

Ingredients

Scale

Corn

  • 4 ears of corn, shucked, halved if necessary

Topping

  • 1 cup finely crumbled feta
  • 3 Tbsp. finely chopped red onion
  • 2 tsp. finely chopped fresh basil, plus more for serving
  • 1 1/4 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1/2 cup full-fat plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 tsp. sweet or smoked paprika
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Air Fry the Corn: Working in batches if necessary, arrange the corn in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F (204°C), turning the corn halfway through the cooking time, for 10 to 12 minutes or until the kernels are bright yellow and tender.
  2. Prepare the Feta Mixture: While the corn cooks, combine the finely crumbled feta, chopped red onion, fresh basil, and dried oregano in a medium bowl. Stir well to blend all the flavors thoroughly.
  3. Assemble and Serve: Once the corn is cooked, spread about 2 tablespoons of the plain Greek yogurt over each ear of corn. Then evenly distribute the feta mixture on top. Sprinkle each cob with sweet or smoked paprika for a hint of smoky flavor and garnish with additional fresh basil leaves. Serve warm or at room temperature alongside lemon wedges for squeezing over.

Notes

  • Ensure the ears of corn are not overcrowded in the air fryer basket to allow even cooking.
  • You can adjust the paprika type (sweet or smoked) depending on your flavor preference.
  • For a vegetarian option, make sure the feta cheese is suitable for vegetarian diets.
  • If fresh basil is unavailable, substitute with 1/2 teaspoon dried basil.
  • Serving with lemon wedges adds a lovely citrus brightness that complements the creamy feta topping.
