# Instructions:
01 -
Peel off husks and clean corn. Chop into small chunks, around 1.5 inches each, so you get about 3-4 sections from each cob.
02 -
Lay the chunks of corn flat in one layer inside the air fryer basket. Spray them lightly with oil and cook at 400°F for about 5 minutes.
03 -
Turn the corn over, spray it again, and return it to the air fryer for another 5 minutes. Cook a couple more minutes if needed, flipping now and then, until it’s nice and golden.
04 -
Melt butter in a large bowl by microwaving it for 10-15 seconds until mostly liquid. Blend in the cajun seasoning until smooth and creamy.
05 -
While it’s warm, toss the cooked corn in the spiced butter till each piece is evenly covered. Use a brush to help spread the mixture into all the nooks if needed.
06 -
Serve the buttered corn while still warm. Serve some ranch dressing on the side for dipping.
# Notes:

Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
02 -
Reheat in the microwave by zapping for 30 seconds at a time.
