Crockpot Corn and Veggie Delight
Ingredients:
6 ears of fresh corn, husked
1 cup water
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
1 tablespoon dried onion flakes
1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper (adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon dried parsley
Optional: 1 teaspoon minced garlic
Optional: 1 teaspoon Lowery’s salt
Optional add-ins: Baby potatoes, baby carrots
Instructions:
Prepare the Crockpot:
Line the bottom of the crockpot with a layer of tin foil to help distribute heat evenly and prevent the corn from getting too hot.
Layering:
Place the fresh corn ears evenly in the crockpot.
Seasoning:
Sprinkle dried onion flakes over the corn.
Distribute the cubes of butter evenly on top of the corn.
Sprinkle salt, black pepper, and dried parsley over the corn.
Optionally, add minced garlic and Lowery’s salt for extra flavor.
Additional Veggies:
If using, add baby potatoes and baby carrots around the corn. Ensure they are evenly distributed.
Cooking:
Pour 1 cup of water into the crockpot.
Setting:
Cover the crockpot and cook on high for 3 hours. This slow cooking method will allow the corn to absorb the flavors and become juicy.
Serve:
Carefully remove the corn and veggies from the crockpot. The tin foil should make cleanup easier.
Optional Garnish:
Garnish with additional fresh parsley or a sprinkle of your favorite herbs for a burst of freshness.
Enjoy:
Serve the deliciously seasoned and juicy corn on the cob alongside the tender baby potatoes and carrots. The slow cooking process will have infused the flavors, making it a delightful and hassle-free dish.
