Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups fresh corn kernels (about 4–5 ears of corn)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional, for a hint of spice)
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley or chives (chopped (optional, for garnish))
Instructions
- Cook the Corn: In a spacious frying pan, heat the unsalted butter over medium heat until it melts. Add the fresh corn kernels and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn becomes tender and slightly golden.
- Add Honey and Seasonings: Stir in the honey, salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using). Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the corn to become nicely coated with the honey butter mixture.
- Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley or chives, if desired.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the honey-butter mix.
- Frozen or canned corn can be used if fresh corn is unavailable.
- Adjust the honey-to-butter ratio to suit your sweetness preference.
