Ingredients
  

4 ears of fresh sweet corn, husked and cleaned

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon chipotle powder (adjust based on 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: Cut the ends off each ear of corn and then cut the corn into 2-3 sections to fit into your air fryer basket; alternatively, you can leave them whole if they fit.

    Season the Corn: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, chipotle powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a paste. Toss the corn sections in the mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.

      Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes.

        Air Fry the Corn: Place the seasoned corn pieces in the air fryer basket, making sure they are in a single layer and not overcrowded. You might need to do this in batches depending on your air fryer size. Cook for 10-12 minutes, turning halfway through, until the corn is crispy and golden.

          Finishing Touches: Once done, drizzle the corn with fresh lime juice and garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley for a pop of freshness.

            Serve: Serve the crispy chipotle sweet corn hot, with lime wedges on the side for an extra tangy kick. Enjoy as a snack or side dish!
