Description

Buttery, lightly roasted frozen corn kernels cooked straight from the bag. Ready in 6 minutes with no thawing.

Ingredients 

  • 1 pound frozen corn kernels, do not thaw
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pats
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, optional
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • Olive oil cooking spray

Instructions

  • Lightly spray a 7-inch air fryer-safe baking pan with olive oil.
  • Add the frozen corn in an even layer. Sprinkle with sugar and place the butter pats on top.
  • Air fry at 400°F for 3 minutes.
  • Stir so the melted butter coats the corn, then air fry another 3 minutes.
  • For roasted corn, cook 2 to 4 minutes more, stirring every 2 minutes.
  • Stir in the parsley and salt. Serve hot.

Equipment

Notes

  • Basket method: Melt the butter and toss it with the frozen corn and sugar in a bowl. Spread in the basket and cook the same times, stirring halfway.
  • Air fryer size: Times are based on a 5- to 6-quart basket air fryer. Oven-style air fryers may need 1 to 2 extra minutes.
