Ingredients
  

4 ears of fresh sweet corn, husked and cleaned

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon chipotle powder (adjust according to your spice tolerance)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Fresh cilantro or parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prep the Corn: Start by trimming the ends from each ear of sweet corn. If your air fryer basket is small, cut the corn into 2-3 sections for easier handling. If the ears fit whole, you may leave them as they are.

    Season the Corn: In a spacious mixing bowl, blend together the olive oil, chipotle powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until it forms a well-combined paste. Toss the corn pieces in this mixture thoroughly, ensuring each section is generously coated with the flavorful seasoning.

      Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to warm up for about 3-5 minutes. This step helps ensure a crispy texture.

        Air Fry the Corn: Arrange the seasoned corn pieces in the air fryer basket in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding for even cooking. Depending on your air fryer’s capacity, you may need to cook in batches. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping the corn halfway through to achieve a crisp and golden finish.

          Finishing Touches: After cooking, drizzle the sweet corn with fresh lime juice. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro or parsley to add a burst of freshness that complements the smoky spices.

            Serve: Enjoy your crispy chipotle sweet corn immediately, served hot alongside lime wedges for an additional zesty punch. Perfect as a delightful snack or as a side dish!
