Cut the corn kernels off the cob using a sharp knife. Hold the cob vertically and carefully slice downward.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
Add the corn kernels to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is tender and slightly golden.
Drizzle the honey over the corn and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Remove from heat and, if desired, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Variations & Tips
For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce. You can also include a squeeze of fresh lime juice for a tangy twist. If you prefer a smokier flavor, try adding a teaspoon of smoked paprika. For a more indulgent dish, stir in a tablespoon of cream cheese or mascarpone at the end of cooking for extra creaminess.
