Fried Corn Ingredients

Method

Fried Corn Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Corn

    Start by removing the kernels from the corn cobs if using fresh corn. You can do this by standing the cob upright and slicing down the sides with a sharp knife.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Onions and Garlic

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic, sautéing until the onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the Corn

    Stir in the corn kernels and cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until the corn is tender and slightly caramelized.

  4. 4

    Season the Corn

    Add salt, black pepper, and sugar to the corn mixture. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat, stir in chopped parsley, and serve hot as a delicious side dish.
