Ingredients
- 1 pound frozen corn
- 4 Tablespoons butter
- 1 Tablespoon sugar
Instructions
- Place corn in a colander and rinse with cold water until ice is no longer present. Shake off excess water over the sink.
- Place corn and butter in a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sprinkle sugar over corn and stir until butter is melted and corn is hot (about 5-6 minutes). Do not over cook.
- Season with Kosher salt and fresh black pepper if desired.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Don’t BOIL frozen kernel corn! Just don’t do it. I know the package tells you to do it, but trust me, it zaps all the flavor out of the corn.
- Use a skillet. Stir-frying or sautéing frozen corn keeps it crisp and bright and tastes much better than roasted corn in the oven.
- Add a little sugar. It’s ok, it won’t taste weird and it will bring out the natural sweet flavor.
- Don’t salt until ready to serve. Salting the corn too early can dehydrate it and it won’t taste as sweet. Wait until after you’ve cooked it, then salt and pepper to taste.
