Ingredients

• 4 ears fresh corn on the cob
• 2 tablespoons low-fat butter spread
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Husk the corn by removing the outer layers of leaves and the silk strands. Rinse them under cold water to remove any remaining silk.

Step 2

Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil over high heat. You should have enough water to completely submerge the corn.

Step 3

Once the water is boiling, carefully add the corn cobs to the pot.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium-high and let the corn simmer for about 5 minutes.

Step 5

While the corn is cooking, finely chop the fresh parsley and set it aside.

Step 6

Melt the low-fat butter spread in a small microwave-safe bowl for about 15 seconds, or until fully melted. Stir in the salt and black pepper.

Step 7

Once the corn is done, use tongs to carefully remove it from the pot and place it on a serving platter.

Step 8

Immediately brush the melted low-fat butter mixture over the hot corn evenly.

Step 9

Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the corn for added flavor and a burst of color.

Step 10

Serve the corn hot as a healthy, low-fat side dish perfect for any meal.
