  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ears of corn, husked and silks removed
  • 2 tablespoons butter or oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Lime, for squeezing (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium heat and brush with butter or oil.
  2. Place the corn cobs in the skillet, whole or cut to fit.
  3. Rotate the cobs every couple of minutes until they are light brown and have some caramelized spots, about 8-10 minutes.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding spices like smoked paprika or feta cheese. Don’t overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming.
