Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sweet Corn

    If using fresh corn, shuck the corn cobs and cut the kernels off with a sharp knife. If using frozen corn, measure out 4 cups and set aside.

  2. 2

    Melt the Butter

    In a large skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.

  3. 3

    Add the Corn

    Once the butter is melted, add the sweet corn kernels to the skillet. Stir to coat the corn with the melted butter.

  4. 4

    Season the Corn

    Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

  5. 5

    Cook the Corn

    Cook the corn mixture for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the corn is heated through and slightly caramelized.

  6. 6

    Finish with Parsley and Lemon

    Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in 2 tablespoons of freshly chopped parsley and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice for added flavor.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Transfer the sweet corn to a serving dish and enjoy warm as a delicious side dish.
