Print Recipe

A quick and comforting side dish featuring frozen corn caramelized in a sweet honey butter glaze, perfect for busy weeknights or last-minute cravings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (600g) frozen corn kernels
  • 4 tablespoons (60g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons (40ml) honey
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Pinch of freshly ground black pepper (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter with honey. Mix until smooth and well combined. Set aside.
  2. Place your skillet over medium heat and let it warm for about 2 minutes until hot but not smoking.
  3. Pour the frozen corn kernels directly into the skillet. Stir occasionally for 5-7 minutes, letting the kernels thaw and start to brown slightly on the edges.
  4. Sprinkle the salt, optional garlic powder, and black pepper over the corn. Stir well to distribute the seasoning evenly.
  5. Lower the heat to medium-low. Dollop the honey butter mixture over the corn. Stir continuously to coat the kernels and allow the butter to melt and caramelize slightly, about 3-4 minutes. Watch closely to prevent burning.
  6. Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
  7. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Keep the heat moderate when adding the honey butter to prevent burning the sugars. Stir occasionally but allow the corn to sit undisturbed briefly to develop crispy, slightly charred bits. For extra caramelization, let the corn sit longer on low heat without stirring but watch carefully. If the honey butter mixture separates, stir to recombine. Avoid stainless steel pans to prevent scorching.
