A square serving of Air Fryer Vegan Corn Casserole topped with chopped green onions on a white plate, with a fork beside it and a baking dish in the background.

Air Fryer Vegan Corn Casserole

I love making this Air Fryer Vegan Corn Casserole because it always turns out perfectly with golden edges and the creamiest center. It's packed with sweet corn and has a cozy, comforting feel everyone craves. I make this for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, Fourth of July cookouts, potlucks, and cozy family dinners because it's always a crowd-pleaser and makes great leftovers.

Equipment

Ingredients

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup cornmeal
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon salt

  • 3 cups sweet corn kernels divided (fresh, frozen, or canned & drained)
  • 1 cup vegan unsweetened plain yogurt
  • ¼ cup vegan butter melted
  • ¼ cup chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

  • Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish that fits in your air fryer.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt, and baking soda.
    ½ cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup cornmeal, ¼ cup sugar, ¾ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • In a blender, combine 1½ cups of the corn, yogurt, and melted vegan butter. Blend until mostly smooth.

  • Pour the blended corn mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir just until everything is combined—do not overmix. Fold in the remaining 1½ cups of whole corn kernels.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake in the air fryer at 350°F (180°C) for 25 - 30 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let it cool slightly before serving. Sprinkle with chopped green onions for a fresh, flavorful finish.

Notes

  • Check your air fryer size: Use a 6-quart air fryer for a 9×13-inch dish. If yours is smaller, select an 8×8-inch dish and cut the cook time by 3–5 minutes.
  • Adjust sweetness to taste: For a more savory casserole, use 2 tablespoons of sugar; for a sweeter one, go up to ⅓ cup.
  • Don't skip the blending step: Blending half the corn with yogurt and butter makes a creamy, custard-like base that holds the casserole together without eggs.
  • Avoid overmixing the batter: Mix just until everything’s combined. Too much stirring can make the texture heavy instead of soft.
  • Test for doneness with a toothpick: Insert it into the center. It should come out clean or have a few moist crumbs, but no wet batter.
  • Flash freeze for meal prep: Cut the cooled casserole into portions and freeze them on a parchment-lined tray for an hour, then transfer to containers so they don’t stick.
