Air Fryer Corn on the Cob

I love cooking corn on the cob in the air fryer. It's fast and easy, and the corn comes out sweet, tender, and vibrant yellow every time. I call for four ears of corn here, but feel free to scale the recipe up or down depending on the size of your air fryer. The corn cobs should fit in a single layer in the air fryer basket with a little space between them.
