How to Make Fire-Roasted Corn using a Pan or Skillet
We love fire-roasted (or pan-roasted) corn using fresh summer corn on the cob.
If you are making corn on the cob for dinner, this is a great way to use up any leftover corn for a fresh corn salad later in the week. Or, make a bunch of corn and freeze it to use all winter long.
Roasted corn is sweet and luscious … perfect for a summer corn salad.
If you don’t have any fresh corn, frozen corn will work just as well!
We start off with fresh corn on the cob that has been cooked and cooled. Take a knife and gently cut off the kernels from the cob. Or, you can use a (16 oz) package of frozen corn.
