Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears fresh corn on the cob
- 2 tablespoons low-fat butter spread
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
Husk the corn by removing the outer layers of leaves and the silk strands. Rinse them under cold water to remove any remaining silk.
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil over high heat. You should have enough water to completely submerge the corn.
Once the water is boiling, carefully add the corn cobs to the pot.
Reduce the heat to medium-high and let the corn simmer for about 5 minutes.
While the corn is cooking, finely chop the fresh parsley and set it aside.
Melt the low-fat butter spread in a small microwave-safe bowl for about 15 seconds, or until fully melted. Stir in the salt and black pepper.
Once the corn is done, use tongs to carefully remove it from the pot and place it on a serving platter.
Immediately brush the melted low-fat butter mixture over the hot corn evenly.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the corn for added flavor and a burst of color.
Serve the corn hot as a healthy, low-fat side dish perfect for any meal.
