2. Cook the Corn
- Add the frozen corn kernels (or fresh corn) to the skillet. Stir to coat the corn with the melted butter.
- Cook the corn for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is heated through and begins to lightly brown on the edges. If you’re using fresh corn, cook for about 3-4 minutes to get a slight caramelization.
3. Add Honey and Seasoning
- Reduce the heat to low and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Stir until the butter is fully melted.
- Drizzle in the honey, and stir to combine. The sweetness of the honey will coat the corn and blend with the buttery richness.
- Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using), and mix well to ensure the corn is evenly seasoned.
4. Garnish & Serve
- Once everything is combined and the corn is fully coated in the honey butter sauce, remove from the heat.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a touch of color and freshness.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the sweet, savory perfection of this dish!
