Why You’ll Love Hot Honey Butter Corn
I love sidedishes like this 🌽 Hot Honey Butter Corn. There’s virtually no prep, very low-maintenance cooking time, and the results are still sensational! The fresh summer corn is bursting with a sweetness that is absolute perfection with a hint (or more!) of spiciness. You can make this recipe using store bought 🍯 hot honey, or you make your own as I suggest. That way you can totally control the amount of heat and sweetness and you’ll definitely have extras to use for other recipes throughout the week. It’s delicious in a stir-fry, over grilled chicken or pork, or as a drizzle over homemade pizza and more!
How to Prepare
🖌️ Use a pastry brush to brush each cob of corn with oil. 🥣 Mix the salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper together in a bowl. 🌽 Sprinkle the seasoning onto the corn and then distribute it well with a brush or your hands. ♨️ Place the seasoned corn in the air fryer and air fry at 400F (200C) for 17 to 20 minutes, flipping the corn halfway through. 🍯 In the meantime, add the honey to a bowl and mix in as many chili flakes as you prefer. If you like it extra spicy you can add some hot sauce as well. 🧈 Stir the melted butter into the honey. 🔥 Check the corn and remove from the air-fryer once it’s charred and fully cooked. 🌶️ Then brush it with the hot honey and enjoy!
