Tips:

  • Fresh Corn is Best: Use fresh corn on the cob for the best flavor and texture. If you don't have access to fresh corn, frozen corn kernels will work as a substitute.
  • Don't Overcook the Corn: Corn cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked corn will become tough and chewy.
  • Use a Cast Iron Skillet: A cast iron skillet is the best choice for cooking this dish. Cast iron skillets distribute heat evenly and retain heat well, resulting in perfectly cooked corn.
  • Add Some Spice: Feel free to add some spice to the dish with chili powder, cayenne pepper, or cumin. You can also add some chopped jalapeño peppers for an extra kick.
  • Serve Immediately: Confetti corn is best served immediately after cooking. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, but it's best when fresh.

Conclusion:

Confetti corn is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for summer cookouts and potlucks.
