You can wrap 1-2 slices of bacon. Two slices for the bacon lovers! If you’re wrapping with 2 slices of bacon, you don’t need to spray the corn because it’ll be mostly covered with bacon oil during cooking. 1 slice of bacon will leave un-covered corn, so that’s when the spray is helpful to make sure the whole corn doesn’t get dry.

Ingredients
2-4earsfresh corn, shucked and cleaned
2-8slicesbacon, depending on how much corn & if you do double bacon or not
If needed, cut ends of corn to fit into your air fryer basket/tray. Or for smaller air fryers, cut the corn in half.
Coat all sides of the corn with light oil spray (if you’re using only 1 bacon strip/ear). If needed, make sure to spray the ends of the corn is where it can often get dry.
Wrap bacon around the corn. Skewer one toothpick to secure each end of bacon to corn. Skewer the toothpick side-ways into the corn and bacon so it does’t stick up too much. (see our photos for the technique). Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Flip the corn. Continue Air Frying for another 6-10 minutes or until bacon is crisp and corn is tender. (Cooking time will depend on size of corn, thickness of the bacon, how full air fryer basket is, & different models/sizes of air fryers).
If needed, flip once more and Air Fry for a couple more minutes or until the bacon is crispy on all sides.
Remove toothpicks before eating. Add butter if desired and enjoy!
