Sunshine Corn Skillet Recipe

Sunshine Corn Skillet is so easy, it practically cooks itself! Grab a comfy seat and let's make some sunshine in a pan. 

What You'll Need 

• 1 tablespoon olive oil (or a pat of butter) 

• 1 small onion, chopped (the smaller you chop, the less "onion-y" it tastes if you're not a big fan!) 

• 3 cups fresh corn kernels (about 3-4 ears of corn, or a big bag from the freezer section, thawed) 

• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (those little red or yellow ones that pop in your mouth!) 

• Salt and pepper to taste (start with a little; you can always add more!) 

Let's Get Cooking! 

Warm Up the Pan 

Get a nice big skillet (your trusty frying pan!) on the stove over medium heat. Add your olive oil or butter and let it melt. 

Onion Sizzle 

Toss in your chopped onion. Stir it around with a spoon until it starts to look soft and a little see-through, about 3-5 minutes. It'll smell great! 

Corn Time! 

Add the corn kernels to the pan. Stir it all up with the onion. Let it cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring every now and then, until the corn looks bright yellow and a little tender. 

Tomato Toss 

Now, add your halved cherry tomatoes. Give everything a good stir. Cook for just 2-3 more minutes, until the tomatoes start to get a little soft and release their yummy juices. 

Season It Up 

Sprinkle in some salt and pepper. Give it one last stir. Taste it! Does it need a little more salt? A little more pepper? Make it just right for you and add your flavor! 

Serve It Up! 

This dish is delicious on its own or as a side with chicken or fish. Enjoy your little taste of summer!
