Sometimes sweet corn on the cob isn't in season, so what is the next best thing? Frozen sweet corn with all the flavors and goodness from the cob. Fried Parmesan Corn is fried on the stove in a skillet and covered in butter, chives and, of course, Parmesan cheese. Keeping it real, my son ate three giant spoonful's of this delicious corn side dish recipe.
Fried corn is a favorite here as the Fried Corn With Bacon is great as well. These fried corn recipes can be made on the flattop grill as well as on the stovetop so it can be made year long. Serve it next to Grilled Chicken Marinade or Grilled Chicken Salad and you have a great meal!

What skillet to use
A large skillet is needed for this recipe. This fried corn recipe was made using a cast iron skillet. I recommend it, as I feel it cooks everything evenly and is perfect for frying corn. A cast iron skillet can also be used in the oven and on top of a campfire. A regular skillet can be used as well!
Frying the corn
The corn is really easy to make. It starts with butter in the skillet, then add the corn and start frying. That is pretty much it. The spices are added and another pat of butter.
The whole cooking time takes less than 15 minutes. (About 12-14 to be exact.) The corn will need to be stirred on occasion, but it is such a simple recipe to make while cooking the main dish for the meal.
Serve this corn alongside
Leftovers
The leftover corn can go into an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
This fried parmesan corn can be served for any Holiday or for a BBQ. Enjoy this recipe with your 4th of July celebration and your family!
