This is an incredibly easy dish my mom would make for every holiday dinner and I love it! Once you taste it you’ll never mess up corn with butter ever again. Adding fresh mint and basil really brings out a freshness and it accompanies our other holiday sides like savory quinoa stuffing and roasted sweet potato kale salad really well.

Ingredients
- 3 to 3 1/2 C frozen corn (about 1 regular sized bag)
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/4 C finely chopped shallot
- 1/2 C finely chopped fresh basil
- 1/2 C finely chopped fresh mint
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp ground pepper
Instructions
-
Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and cook corn in oil for 4 to 5 minutes, until it starts to get some browning/caramelization on it. You'll want to stir it infrequently to let the caramelization of the corn happen.
-
Once you see some color on the kernels, add in the chopped shallot, sea salt, and pepper and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Add in the herbs and stir, cooking for another 1 to 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
