Ingredients
- 3 cups corn fresh or frozen
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ to ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- fresh cilantro optional
Instructions
- Heat a cast iron skillet over mid-high heat. Add fresh or frozen corn in a single layer to the skillet.
- Allow corn to cook for about 5-10 minutes until it starts to pop.
- Stir to lightly toast all sides of the corn. Season with salt and pepper as desired.
Notes
- Cut fresh corn right off the cob for best results.
- If fresh corn isn’t available, I recommend using frozen corn. You can add the frozen corn right to the skillet to char. No need to thaw.
- I recommend using a cast iron skillet. If using stainless steel, be sure to add a little oil to the skillet before adding corn to avoid sticking.
- Spice up the corn with your favorite seasoning like chili powder, paprika, cumin, etc. Experiment with different spices to change things!
- Store in the refrigerator for 5-7 days
