Growing up, we didn’t focus much on eating seasonally, except when it came to corn on the cob. Fresh corn from a local New Jersey farm stand was a must, according to my father’s rule.
To me, corn on the cob remains one of summer’s greatest pleasures. I still enjoy coating the kernels with butter, adding a sprinkle of salt, and indulging as eagerly as I did in my childhood.
These 20 corn recipes, featuring both on-the-cob and off-the-cob options, make the most of this seasonal delight. Thankfully, you don’t have to limit these recipes to summer alone. By freezing corn—either on the cob or as kernels—you can savor its taste throughout the year.
