Air Fryer Corn on the Cob in Foil with Garlic Butter for 4 Servings

Instructions:

1. Prep the corn. Remove all husks and silks from the 4 ears of corn. Note: Running a damp paper towel down the cob helps grab those stubborn silk threads.
2. Make the compound butter. Mash the 4 tbsp softened butter, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper in a small bowl.
3. Apply the flavor. Spread exactly 1 tbsp of the garlic butter mixture over each cob, covering it entirely.
4. Wrap securely. Place each cob on a square of foil and roll it up tightly, twisting the ends like a candy wrapper until no corn is visible.
5. Preheat the air fryer. Set your machine to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes. Note: Preheating ensures the steam starts forming the second the corn hits the basket.
6. Load the basket. Place the 4 wrapped cobs in the air fryer basket, ensuring they aren't stacked on top of each other.
7. Cook the corn. Air fry at 400°F for 12 minutes until the kernels feel tender when pressed through the foil.
8. Rest the packets. Let the corn sit in the closed air fryer for 2 minutes after the timer goes off. Note: This carryover time allows the steam to settle back into the corn.
9. Open with care. Use tongs to remove the foil and carefully peel it back until the steam escapes away from your face.
10. Finish and serve. Sprinkle the 1 tsp fresh parsley over the hot cobs and serve immediately.
