Ingredients

Scale

4 cups Frozen or Fresh Corn (thawed if frozen)
4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
2 tablespoons Honey
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon Freshly cracked black pepper
1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, finely chopped

Instructions

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat for one minute.
Add two tablespoons of butter to the skillet until the foam subsides.
Pour the corn into the skillet in a single layer.
Sauté the corn for five minutes without stirring to achieve golden charring.
Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining two tablespoons of butter and the honey.
Toss the corn continuously for three minutes until the kernels are well glazed.
Add the salt and pepper, stirring to combine.
Remove from heat immediately to avoid burning the honey.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Use high-fat European butter for a richer flavor profile. Ensure the corn is thoroughly dried if using frozen corn to prevent steaming rather than browning. You can store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
