Air Fryer Corn on the Cob
Corn on the cob in the air fryer turns out perfectly tender and lightly browned in just 10 minutes! Keep it simple by dressing it with olive oil and salt, or go big and make our Mediterranean riff on the Mexican street corn elote with a creamy feta-yogurt spread, oregano, and a sprinkle of Aleppo pepper. Either way, it’s the kind of easy side dish you’ll be making all summer long.

For the Mediterranean Take on Elote
- Make the coating. On a wide plate, combine feta, yogurt, olive oil, garlic, oregano, Aleppo pepper, and salt. Stir well to combine. Spread it out on a plate, and roll each ear in the topping. Sprinkle with Parmesan or Kefalotyri cheese and serve.

- Nutritional value: The nutritional value does not include the Mediterranean take on elote. If you use the sauce, it's 228 calories per serving.
- More servings? You can absolutely use this same method to cook more (or fewer) ears of corn. I specified four ears here based on the capacity of many air fryers. Depending on the basket size you may want to cut or break the ears in half to help them fit.
