So corn really is one of my favorite foods in the entire world. I could eat corn in any form, from bread to creamed to steamed and anything inbetween. These spicy sweet corn disks are super easy to make and full of flavor. There is no added sweetness, just the sweet corn!
Aside from the spices, there are four main ingredients: corn, onion, lemon, and cilantro.
Take a medium pan and sautee the onion until translucent and add the spices. Stir well.
Then toss the corn in and add water to cook and steam the corn.
Add the cilantro and lemon just before serving and enjoy!

Some tips: This recipe is super simple and will only take about ten minutes to cook but it’s best to ensure that your corn disks are no more than 3 but no less that 2 kernels thick.
You might need to use a mallet to help you cut the corn if the cob core is too thick. If you want you can also make this a corn salad and use off the cob sweet corn with the same seasonings! It’ll be a great burrito bowl or salad topping!
