Corn with Lime and Aleppo Pepper

There is nothing quite like corn on the cob at a summer barbecue. In fact, I could probably eat the entire batch without even paying attention. This sautéed corn with lime and Aleppo pepper takes a slightly different approach to your go-to summer side dish, combining the sweet, crunchy, and savory elements we all love.

Ingredients:

- 3 tbsp. unsalted butter, divided

- 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs

- 4 ears corn, shucked

- zest of 1 lime

- big pinch of salt

- pinch of Aleppo pepper (can be substituted with red chili flakes)

Directions:

1) On medium heat, melt 2 tbsp. of butter in a skillet.

2) Add panko bread crumbs and a pinch of salt. Stir constantly until a golden hue develops and panko bread crumbs are crisp.

3) Remove panko from the skillet and set aside.

4) Add remaining 1 tbsp. of butter, corn kernels, and a pinch of salt.

5) Sauté until corn is tender.

6) Off heat, add in lime zest and a pinch of Aleppo pepper.

7) Top with crispy panko breadcrumbs and enjoy!
