Ingredients
  

4 ears of fresh sweet corn, husked and cleaned

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon chipotle powder (adjust based on your spice preference)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prep the Corn: Start by cutting off the ends of each ear of corn. Next, either slice the corn into 2-3 sections to fit into your air fryer basket, or leave them whole if they comfortably fit without overcrowding.

    Season the Corn: In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, chipotle powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir the mixture thoroughly until it forms a smooth paste. Add the corn sections to the bowl and toss them well, ensuring that each piece is fully coated with the seasoning paste.

      Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to preheat at 400°F (200°C) for approximately 3-5 minutes, allowing it to reach the right cooking temperature.

        Air Fry the Corn: Once preheated, carefully place the seasoned corn pieces into the air fryer basket in a single layer. Be sure not to overcrowd the basket, as this could prevent even cooking. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook the corn in batches. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, turning the corn halfway through the cooking process, until they become crispy and achieve a golden-brown color.

          Finishing Touches: After cooking, drizzle the freshly squeezed lime juice over the crispy corn. Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped cilantro or parsley to add a touch of vibrant freshness.

            Serve: Present the crispy chipotle sweet corn hot, accompanied by lime wedges on the side for an additional citrusy kick. This dish is perfect as a snack or as a delightful side dish!
