Try out one of these healthy recipes. From corn casseroles to one-pot salsas, these dishes make the most of your frozen corn. Recipes like our Corn Pudding with Bacon & Rosemary and Clam Chowder with Broccoli Stems & Corn are nutritious and tasty. 01 of 17 Zucchini, Corn & Egg Casserole View Recipe This healthy casserole is essentially a crustless quiche, brimming with fresh summer vegetables. Bake it up for an elegant summer brunch or a casual backyard barbecue. 02 of 17 Clam Chowder with Broccoli Stems & Corn View Recipe Keeping frozen corn, canned clams and clam juice on hand means spur-of-the-moment chowder in any season. If you typically compost your broccoli stems, save them for this soup--they hold up better than florets. Set out bowls of toppings like diced red bell pepper, snipped chives or more bacon. 03 of 17 Prosciutto Pizza with Corn & Arugula View Recipe This grilled prosciutto and arugula pizza makes the perfect summer dinner. If you have time, let the dough stand at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes to make rolling it out easier in this 20-minute healthy pizza recipe. Thawed frozen corn works in place of fresh, just pat it dry before sprinkling it on the pizza. 04 of 17 Fresh Sweet Corn Salad View Recipe We love fresh summer corn when it's in season, but frozen corn makes a great year-round substitute in this quick and easy side dish. 05 of 17 Corn Pudding with Bacon & Rosemary View Recipe Corn pudding is a Southern favorite, often made with canned creamed corn. We prefer the texture of frozen corn, which we pair with crème fraîche for its creaminess and tang. 06 of 17 Slow-Cooker Corn Casserole View Recipe With just five ingredients, you can make this healthy corn casserole with ease. The tang of the cream cheese and sour cream balances the sweetness of the corn. Frozen corn can vary in sweetness, so taste the brand you're using to determine if the optional sugar is needed. This creamy corn casserole makes the perfect veggie side for any meal. 07 of 17 Quick Risotto with Shrimp, Corn & Edamame View Recipe In this healthy, quick risotto recipe, we use instant brown rice instead of arborio rice, and frozen corn and edamame to speed up the cooking time and add fiber. To get the creamy risotto texture without slow cooking, we stir in cream cheese and Parmesan just at the end of cooking. 08 of 17 Creole Skillet Cornbread View Recipe Jerrelle Guy Baking cornbread in a cast-iron skillet results in the ideal crispy crust enclosing a tender crumb. In this recipe, tender corn kernels provide additional texture. As with many recipes, how much sugar you like in your cornbread may depend on how your grandmother made it, so add more or less sugar to taste.

The sweet corn batter and salty Cheddar cheese make this casserole pleasing to kids and adults alike. 10 of 17 One-Pot Beans & Rice with Corn & Salsa View Recipe This one-pot dinner is like a deconstructed burrito bowl--especially when topped with salsa, sliced avocado or a dollop of Greek yogurt for a cool, creamy accent. You can also enjoy it as a meal on its own, or as a vegetarian taco or burrito filling or a side dish on taco night. 11 of 17 Sweet Potato, Corn & Black Bean Hash View Recipe Quick and easy hashes are fabulous one-pot meals for those nights when getting dinner on the table fast is a priority. 12 of 17 Healthy Chicken Tortilla Soup View Recipe Photographer / Jacob Fox, Food styling / Sue Mitchell, Food Styling / Kelsey Bulat Rather than using store-bought tortilla chips, which are usually deep-fried, we skip the mess (and dangerous hot oil) by baking the corn tortillas instead. The result is a crispy topping that saves on sodium and completes a bowl of this healthy chicken soup. 13 of 17 Poblano Corn Casserole View Recipe Fred Hardy This light and fluffy poblano corn casserole has sweet corn and mildly spicy pepper in every bite. Self-rising cornmeal gives it texture and lift, while the cheese and cream cheese make it rich and creamy. 14 of 17 Easy Corn Pudding View Recipe This easy Southern-style corn pudding is a great way to use up fresh corn if you've got it! But to speed up the prep time, frozen corn kernels work just as well. This simple casserole is light and savory-sweet. It's the perfect companion for grilled or roasted chicken, pork or steak or can stand on its own as a vegetarian main dish. 15 of 17 Jalapeño Creamed Corn View Recipe Sweet and savory creamed corn gets a creamy kick from Cheddar cheese and jalapeño. We love the added spice sliced jalapeño adds as a garnish, but this is also great without it if you want to tame the heat. Try it alongside grilled steak or chicken or with your Thanksgiving spread. 16 of 17 Cornbread-Topped Chili Casserole View Recipe In this healthy casserole recipe--sometimes called tamale pie--the cornbread gets crusty at the edges, thanks to a cast-iron skillet. For the best texture, use yellow cornmeal with a medium grind. Serve with lime wedges for a little extra tang. 17 of 17 Black Bean Croquettes with Fresh Salsa View Recipe Staples like canned black beans and frozen corn transform into spicy croquettes in mere minutes. Serve with warm corn tortillas, coleslaw and lime wedges. Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback! Tell us why! Other Submit
