Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh corn kernels
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the unsalted butter along with the olive oil. Allow the butter to melt completely and mix with the oil.
Add the fresh corn kernels to the skillet in a single layer. Let them cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes to develop a golden caramelized layer.
Stir the corn and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for another 5-6 minutes until most kernels are golden brown and slightly charred in spots.
Lower the heat to medium and stir in the minced garlic, smoked paprika, chili flakes, and fresh thyme leaves. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste. Stir well to combine the flavors.
Remove the skillet from heat. Drizzle the roasted corn with fresh lemon juice and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top.
Serve immediately as a side dish or topping for salads, tacos, or grilled meats. Enjoy!
