Ingredients:

  • 4 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels (about 4-5 ears of corn if using fresh)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons honey (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional, for a touch of smokiness)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Prep the Corn:
    • If using fresh corn, shuck the ears and remove the kernels with a sharp knife. If using frozen corn, measure out 4 cups and allow it to thaw slightly.
  2. Heat the Skillet:
    • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Allow it to bubble slightly but not brown.
  3. Add the Corn:
    • Stir in the corn kernels and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is tender and heated through. If using frozen corn, you may need to cook it a little longer until it’s fully warmed.
  4. Add Honey and Seasonings:
    • Drizzle the honey over the corn and sprinkle in the salt, pepper, and paprika (if using). Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  5. Taste and Adjust:
    • Taste the corn and adjust the seasoning as necessary. You can add more honey for extra sweetness or more salt for flavor.
  6. Garnish and Serve:
    • Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or cilantro for a pop of color and freshness. Serve warm and enjoy the sweet and savory goodness!
