Notes
HOW TO CHAR FROZEN CORN IN A SKILLET
Here’s how to roast corn in a skillet:- Begin with a large pan to avoid over-crowding. I prefer a cast-iron skillet because it holds heat the best, which lets the corn char beautifully.
- Heat the pan until it’s hot then add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- When the butter is melted, add 2 to 3 cups of frozen corn and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring only occasionally. The less you stir, the more caramelized the corn will be.
