Air fryer spicy corn recipe
Sweet corn is boiled for 2 minutes, tossed with spices and cornstarch, then air fried until golden and crispy. A quick snack with very little oil.
Ingredients
- 200 grams about 1⅓ cups sweet corn kernels
- 2 cups 480 ml water, for boiling
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper powder
- ½ teaspoon red chilli powder
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- Salt (to taste)
- Oil spray (as needed)
Instructions
- Heat the water in a pan. When it is hot, add the sweet corn and cook for 2 minutes.
- Drain the corn well in a strainer.
- Add the corn to a bowl. Add the black pepper, red chilli powder, oregano, cornstarch and salt.
- Mix well, so the corn is coated with the spices.
- Preheat the air fryer at 360°F (180°C) for 2 minutes.
- Spray the basket lightly with oil. Spread the corn in one layer.
- Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes. Toss the corn 2 to 3 times while it cooks.
- If the corn looks dry, spray a little oil. Cook until golden and crispy.
- Serve hot.
Notes
- Drain the corn well, so it turns crisp.
- Cook in a single layer for even color.
- Best eaten fresh. Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 1 day.
