You can use minced garlic instead of the garlic powder if desired. For a more mellow fresh garlic flavor, add the garlic before air frying. It may crisp up as well, depending on how long you air fry . For a punchy garlic taste, add the garlic to some melted butter and spread over the corn after air frying.You can air fry as many ears that will fit in a single layer in your air fryer basket/tray. Trim to size if necessary. If you cook with more or less corn, it will affect cooking times. Reduce timing a little for 1-2 ears of corn, and increase time for more corn. For an easy way to shuck corn, check out this tutorial.
Shuck and clean the corn of husks and silk. If needed, cut ends of corn to fit into your air fryer basket/tray. Or for smaller air fryers, cut the corn in half.
Coat all sides of the corn with the softened butter.
Season the corn with the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Place in the air fryer basket/tray in a single layer.
Air Fry at 380°F/193°C for 10 minutes. Flip the corn.
Continue Air Frying for another 3-8 minutes or corn is tender and cooked to your liking. (Cooking time will depend on size of corn, how full air fryer basket is, & different models/sizes of air fryers).
Remove the corn from the air fryer basket/tray and coat with the parmesan and chopped parsley. Serve warm.
