Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh corn kernels
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 large garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoons olive oil (optional)
Directions
Step 1
1. Prepare the ingredients by cutting the corn kernels off the cob if using fresh ears, or measuring 4 cups of frozen corn and letting it thaw completely.
Step 2
2. Mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the fresh chives, setting them aside for the cooking process.
Step 3
3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter. For extra caramelization, you can add 1 teaspoon of olive oil along with the butter to prevent it from burning.
Step 4
4. Once the butter has melted and is slightly foamy, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
Step 5
5. Add the corn kernels to the skillet and stir to coat them evenly with the garlic butter. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn begins to develop a slight golden-brown color.
Step 6
6. Season the corn with salt and black pepper, adjusting the amounts to taste. Stir to combine.
Step 7
7. Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the finely chopped chives over the corn. Stir again to distribute the chives evenly.
Step 8
8. Transfer the Chive N Garlic Corn to a serving dish and serve warm. Enjoy!
