The Best Corn from Frozen
Description
Frozen corn is cooked directly in a skillet with salted butter, granulated sugar, salt, and black pepper. The heat melts the butter and combines with sugar to lightly glaze the kernels, bringing out their sweet notes. The corn is stirred occasionally over 7 to 8 minutes until it is fully heated through but still retains a firm texture.
The seasoning is modest, allowing the fresh corn flavor to shine while the butter adds richness. The balance of salt and a touch of sugar enhances the natural sweetness without overpowering.
This simple preparation is convenient for using frozen corn while maintaining a satisfying texture and flavor. It pairs well as a vegetable side for various main courses.
Care should be taken not to overcook the corn, as excess heat can cause a gummy texture instead of tender firmness. Serve immediately for best results.
Ingredients
- 16 ounces corn frozen
- 4 tablespoons butter salted
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar

- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions

Notes
- Cook the corn only until heated through to maintain a tender texture and avoid gumminess.
- Adjust salt and pepper seasoning to taste after cooking if desired.
