A barbecue wouldn’t be complete without some buttered corn on the cob. We’re big fans of this zesty steamed corn on the cob recipe with lime and chilli butter. Weather turned? You can also make this very easily in an air fryer, if you have one.

Put the corn cobs in a steamer and steam for 10-15 minutes until bright yellow and tender.
