Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 2 cups fresh corn kernels Use sweet, fresh corn for best flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons butter For a dairy-free version, use coconut oil.
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Pepper
  • for garnish Chopped parsley

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by shucking the corn if you’re using ears. Remove the kernels using a sharp knife, ensuring you get as much corn as possible without cutting into the cob.
  2. Place your skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and slightly bubble.
Cooking
  1. Add the fresh corn kernels to the skillet. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir occasionally, allowing the corn to caramelize slightly, which should take about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Once the corn has developed a bit of color, drizzle the honey over the corn. Stir well to ensure every kernel is coated.
  3. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped parsley for a fresh finish.
  4. Serve the dish warm as a side and enjoy the delightful flavors.

Notes

For the best results, let the corn caramelize properly. Avoid overcooking to maintain a crisp-tender texture. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheated in a skillet.
