Preheat your air fryer or oven to 400°F (200°C). If frying, heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Cut fresh corn on the cob into bite-sized pieces and pat them dry with paper towels.

In a large mixing bowl, combine melted butter, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss the corn pieces in the mixture.

If using an air fryer, cook the corn pieces in a single layer for about 15 minutes, shaking halfway through. For frying, fry until golden brown.

Sprinkle more Cajun seasoning or squeeze fresh lime juice over the crispy corn before serving.

Serve warm, on its own or with dipping sauces.
