- Prepare the Corn:
- Clean the corn by removing all the husks and silk. Cut the corn in half if the whole ears are too large for your skillet.
- Heat the Pan:
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook the Corn:
- Place the ears of corn in the skillet. Let them cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes, then turn them to another side. Continue turning every few minutes until all sides are charred and the corn is cooked through, about 10-12 minutes total.
- Season:
- Season with salt and slather with butter while the corn is still hot.
- Serve:
- Serve the roasted ears of corn as a side with additional butter, or slice the kernels off the cob after cooking and use them in other dishes.
Both methods offer a great way to enjoy the natural sweetness of corn with a deliciously charred flavor from frying. Whether you choose the simpler skillet fried corn kernels or the fun and hands-on whole ears, you’re in for a tasty treat.
