Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ears Fresh corn on the cob
- 2 tablespoons Vegan butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 cups Water
Instructions
Shuck the corn and remove all the silk from the ears.
Cut the kernels off each cob by standing the corn upright on a cutting board and slicing down the sides with a sharp knife. Be sure to hold the cob securely while doing this.
In a medium-sized saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over high heat.
Add the corn kernels to the boiling water and cook for 3-4 minutes until just tender. Drain the water and set the corn aside.
In a large skillet, melt the vegan butter over medium heat.
Add the drained corn kernels to the skillet and toss them in the melted butter.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper over the corn. Stir well to ensure even coating.
Continue to sauté the corn for another 5-6 minutes until they get slightly golden brown around the edges.
Chop the fresh parsley and add it to the skillet, along with the lemon juice. Stir to combine.
Remove from heat and taste. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve hot as a side dish or enjoy on its own.
