Podded corn kernels (24 medium ears)
Olive oil (2 Tbsp)
Kosher salt (1 tsp)

Garlic powder (1/4 tsp)
Instructions
Preheat cast iron skillet in oven for 15 minutes at 500°F
Pod kernels from 4 ears, discarding silks and husks

Convection ovens improve results
Substitute sunflower oil if using high temps
