Equipment

1 Cast iron skillet or skillet
1 Wooden spoon or spatula

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter/plant-based butter
2 tablespoons blackened seasoning
4 cups frozen corn kernals

Instructions

Step One: Prep

Preheat a skillet or cast iron skillet over medium heat.
Melt the butter or plant-based butter in the hot skillet.
Sprinkle the blackened seasoning over the melted butter and stir. Let the spices simmer for one minute.

Step Two: Cook

Add the frozen corn kernels to the skillet and toss to evenly coat each kernel in the seasoned butter.
Cook the corn undisturbed for 3-5 minutes. Stir and repeat until the corn is golden brown and charred.
Remove the charred corn from the skillet and allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Thawing Corn: Thaw the corn before cooking. Once thawed, pat the corn dry to avoid steaming.
Storage: Let the corn completely cool. Place in an air-tight container in the fridge for 3 - 5 days.
Reheating: To reheat, place the corn in a hot skillet for a few minutes, stirring occasionally until warmed through. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the corn mushy.
