Nutrition Facts : Calories 117.2 calories, Carbohydrate 10.2 g, Cholesterol 4.1 mg, Fat 8.3 g, Fiber 1.7 g, Protein 1.9 g, SaturatedFat 1.3 g, Sodium 158.2 mg, Sugar 2.9 g

Tips:

  • Use fresh corn: Fresh corn is sweeter and has a better flavor than frozen or canned corn. If you can't find fresh corn, you can use frozen or canned corn, but be sure to drain it well before using.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: When you add the corn to the skillet, make sure not to overcrowd it. If you do, the corn will not cook evenly and will be mushy. Cook the corn in batches if necessary.
  • Season the corn well: Be generous with the salt and pepper when you season the corn. This will help to bring out the flavor of the corn.
  • Add other vegetables: Feel free to add other vegetables to the skillet, such as diced bell peppers, onions, or zucchini. This will add extra flavor and nutrition to the dish.
  • Serve immediately: Confetti corn is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that the corn is still hot and juicy.

Conclusion:

Confetti corn is a quick, easy, and delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up fresh corn and can be easily customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a side dish that is both healthy and delicious, give confetti corn a try.
