Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
- 1 medium, diced red bell pepper
- 1 medium, diced yellow bell pepper
- 1 medium, diced green bell pepper
- 1 diced small red onion
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 0.25 teaspoons red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
If using fresh corn, remove the kernels from the cobs using a sharp knife. If using frozen corn, allow it to thaw. Drain canned corn if applicable.
Heat the olive oil and unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced red onion to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until softened and fragrant.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, being careful not to let it burn.
Add the diced red, yellow, and green bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, until the peppers are slightly tender but still vibrant.
Add the corn kernels to the skillet and mix well. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the corn to heat through and lightly brown.
Season with salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using). Stir everything together to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the dish with fresh chopped parsley.
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy your flavorful Confetti Corn!
