INGREDIENTS

Frozen ears of corn – Remove husks and silks before freezing and store in a freezer bag or airtight container, wrapping each individual ear of corn in aluminum foil first to avoid freezer burn.

TOPPINGS FOR CORN ON THE COB – Parmesan cheese – Seasoned salt – Garlic or garlic butter – Mayonnaise – Cayenne pepper – Chili powder – Fresh salsa – Fresh lime juice – Lemon or lime zest – Fresh Chives or basil  – Herbed or flavored butter – Bacon crumbles – Soy sauce – Sour cream – Goat cheese or Cotija
