Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Frozen corn kernels
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the frozen corn kernels in a large microwave-safe bowl. Make sure the bowl has enough room to stir the ingredients later.
Add the unsalted butter to the bowl with the corn.
Microwave the corn and butter on high for 3-4 minutes, stopping halfway to stir. The corn should be hot and fully thawed, and the butter should be melted.
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the honey mustard mixture over the hot corn and stir thoroughly to coat the kernels evenly.
Microwave the corn for an additional 1 minute to heat the sauce and allow the flavors to meld.
Stir the corn one final time and taste to adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if necessary.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
