Ingredients
Scale
Corn
- 6 ears of corn, husked and cleaned, cut into small pieces
- Oil spray (olive oil or avocado oil)
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 1.5 tablespoons Cajun seasoning (prepared below)
Cajun Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- ¾ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon brown sugar
- ¾ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare Corn: Husk and clean each corn cob, then cut them into small, manageable pieces suitable for air frying.
- Preheat and Oil Corn: Place the corn pieces in the air fryer basket and spray them evenly with olive or avocado oil to ensure crisping.
- First Air Frying: Cook the corn at 400°F (204°C) for 5 minutes to start the cooking and roasting process.
- Flip Corn: Open the air fryer and carefully flip or stir the corn pieces to ensure even cooking on all sides.
- Second Air Frying: Continue to cook for another 5 minutes at the same temperature, checking to allow the corn to turn slightly golden and crispy.
- Make Cajun Butter: Meanwhile, melt the butter and mix it thoroughly with the homemade Cajun seasoning until well combined.
- Toss Corn in Seasoned Butter: Once the corn is air-fried to a golden color, transfer it to a bowl and toss immediately with the seasoned butter to coat evenly.
- Serve: Serve the Cajun corn warm, optionally with a dipping sauce of your choice for added flavor.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh corn and cut into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
- You can adjust cayenne pepper quantity for milder or spicier corn based on your heat preference.
- If you don’t have an air fryer, this recipe can be adapted for oven roasting at 425°F for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through.
- Butter can be substituted with a vegan alternative for a dairy-free version.
- Make sure to spray the oil evenly to aid in crisping and browning during air frying.
