Method

Directions

Prepare the Corn

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the fresh corn kernels on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 20 minutes or until they are lightly browned and caramelized. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Cook the Grits

In a large pot, bring the water to a boil. Add the corn grits and salt, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the grits are thick and creamy. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Combine Ingredients

Once the grits are cooked, stir in the roasted corn, butter, black pepper, and Parmesan cheese until well combined and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more water to reach desired consistency.

Serve

Spoon the roasted corn grits into bowls, garnish with chopped chives, and serve hot.
