Tips for Air Frying Bacon Wrapped Corn:
- Cooking times will vary depending on the size of the corn and the size of your air fryer. So if you’re unsure, try cooking maybe 1-2 corns first and test the time that works best for your preferred corn texture. Don’t cook a whole big batch on your first try. You might end up with a batch that you don’t like.
- If you’re using a thick-cut bacon, cooking time will be a little longer
- You can wrap up to 3 pieces of bacon per whole fresh corn. Though the bacon will overlap, once it cooks it will shrink.
- Use applewood smoked bacon for extra flavor!

- For 2 corn – Air Fry at 380°F for 12-16 minutes, flipping halfway.For 4 corn – Air Fry at 380°F for 14-20 minutes, flipping halfway. Cook until bacon is crisp and corn is tender. (Cooking time will depend on size of corn, how full air fryer basket is, & different models/sizes of air fryers).Remove toothpicks before eating. Add butter if desired and enjoy!
If your air fryer is preheated or if you are cooking multiple batches, you may need to reduce timing by a few minutes (unless preheating is called for in the recipe).

I used two slices of bacon for each corn. The bacon started to slide off but it’s ok because the corn was perfect! So easy.
What a great way to cook corn! I mean, bacon makes everything better, am I right? I will keep this recipe on hand for the summer when local corn is in season. My family will love this!
These were perfect for my party last week. The bacon came out so crispy.
