Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh corn kernels (about 6 ears of corn)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- Fresh chopped parsley or chives for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Corn: If using fresh corn, shuck the corn and cut the kernels off the cob. If using frozen corn, thaw and drain it well.
- Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.
- Cook the Corn: Add the corn kernels to the skillet and stir to coat them in the melted butter. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is tender and slightly caramelized.
- Add Honey: Drizzle the honey over the cooked corn. Stir well to combine, allowing the honey to melt and coat the corn evenly.
- Season: Sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder (if using). Mix until everything is well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Serve: Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or chives if desired. Serve warm.
