- Cut the corn and leeks into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you do, the vegetables will steam instead of sautéing.
- Cook the vegetables over medium-high heat. This will help them brown and caramelize.
- Stir the vegetables frequently. This will prevent them from sticking to the pan and burning.
- Season the vegetables to taste. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options.
- Serve the sauté immediately. This is when it will be at its best.
