Ingredients
- 4 ears fresh corn on the cob
- 8 cups water
- 2 tablespoons unsalted light butter spread
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Husk the corn ears by removing all the outer leaves and silk strands. Rinse the corn under cold water to wash away any remaining silk.
Step 2
In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water to a rolling boil over high heat.
Step 3
Once the water is boiling, carefully add the corn to the pot. Cover and boil for 8-10 minutes or until the kernels are tender but not mushy.
Step 4
While the corn is cooking, mix the light butter spread with salt, ground black pepper, and chopped parsley in a small bowl until evenly combined.
Step 5
When the corn is done, use tongs to remove it from the pot and place it on a serving platter.
Step 6
While the corn is still hot, using a pastry brush, evenly apply the butter mixture over each ear of corn.
Step 7
Serve immediately while the corn is warm for the best flavor and enjoy this low-fat, buttery treat.
