Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups fresh or frozen sweet corn kernels
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and let it melt completely until it begins to foam slightly.
- Add the corn kernels to the hot skillet in a single layer if possible. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn starts to lightly brown or caramelize in spots. This step develops flavor.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low. Pour the honey over the corn. Stir constantly for about 1 minute until the honey melts and coats all the kernels, creating a simple honey butter sauce. Be careful not to burn the honey.
- Stir in the salt and pepper. Taste the corn and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with fresh parsley, if using. Serve immediately as a quick vegetable side.
Notes
- For a slight kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper along with the salt and pepper.
- If you want a cheesy finish, sprinkle 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese over the corn right after removing it from the heat and stir quickly.
- Use fresh sweet corn when it is in season for the best flavor in this pan fried corn recipe.
