For best results, use fresh, high-quality corn. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to suit your spice preference. If you don't have an air fryer, you can grill the corn for a smoky flavor or roast it in the oven at 425°F (220°C) for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through. Consider adding a squeeze of fresh lime juice after tossing for an extra layer of brightness. For a richer flavor, try using browned butter instead of regular melted butter in the spice blend.
