How To Correctly Season Canned Corn For Ultimate Flavor
By Stacie Adams
Canned corn is a convenient, nutritious, and delicious side dish that serves as the perfect vehicle for a variety of seasonings and additions beyond simple salt and pepper.
If you prefer deep, savory flavors, smoked paprika is a perfect addition to creamed corn, especially if you amplify its smokiness with bacon. This dish is ideal for the holidays.
When it comes to Taco Tuesday, an elote bowl is a perfect dish, incorporating cilantro, chili powder, garlic, lime juice, and mayonnaise with the canned corn.
Because corn cobs are typically grilled for elote, drizzle oil on the canned corn and toast the kernels in an oven or use a kitchen torch to replicate the original flavor.
If you want something sweet, creamy, and slightly tangy with your corn, add honey and cream cheese when cooking it, which will act as an excellent base for other flavors.
You can also add a bit of heat to the dish by sprinkling a touch of chile flakes, which will infuse the honey with just the right amount of spice for an alluring bite.
