How can you make sure your corn stays crispy when air frying?
To ensure your corn stays crispy when frying, make sure to remove moisture from the kernels. Excess moisture can cause the kernels to steam rather than air fry, which can lead to soggy kernels. After washing the corn kernels, spread them out on kitchen roll and gently pat them dry. Allow them to air dry for a few minutes before seasoning them. Also, make sure there aren’t too many corn kernels in the basket so they cook evenly and stay crispy.
