Tuesday's Cupful: Corn Seasonings

Different ways to perk up your ears

Make the most of the ears of corn by seasoning them three different ways: flavored butter, infused olive oil, or dry rubs. We already discussed garlic butter in an earlier post. Just pat some garlic butter (or any other flavored butter) on freshly cooked corn on the cob. Another option: Have herb infused olive oil available to drizzle on instead. We suggest basil or rosemary infused olive oil. Or, turn it up a notch and infuse with a chili pepper. Lastly, sprinkle a favorite dry seasoning like paprika or garlic salt right on the cob. Add some dry parmesan powder for a cheesy twist. Mrs. Dash or even Old Bay seafood seasoning can also spice things up. Have any other ideas for a flavorful addition to corn?
