It's corn season, so make the most of your cobs with these delicious sides. Whether it's starring in a salad, dip or on the grill, these highly-rated corn recipes are perfect for summer dinners. Recipes like our Hot Honey Corn Salad and Skillet Corn are loved by our readers, so we know you'll want to make them again and again.

Scalloped Corn

Each bite of this spoonable scalloped corn features sweet, crunchy nuggets of corn in a creamy sauce topped with crispy crushed crackers. We use frozen corn to keep the prep time to a minimum, but if fresh corn is in season, it won't disappoint. You will need 12 to 16 ears of corn to get 8 cups of corn kernels. Serve this easy side dish alongside pulled pork or ribs at your next barbecue, with collard greens on the side.

Hot Honey Corn Salad Is the Perfect Summer Side

Sweet corn combines with hot honey for a nice overall balance of hot and sweet flavors in this delicious summer side dish. Serve this easy salad alongside grilled chicken or steak, or ditch the greens on the bottom and enjoy the corn mixture as a taco or burrito bowl topping.

Garlic Butter Campfire Corn

This flavorful corn couldn't be easier to prepare. Just cover the ears of corn in a quick garlic-and-chive-flavored butter and wrap in foil and they're ready to throw on the grill at home or over coals at the campsite.

Chunky Black Bean Salsa with Corn & Bell Pepper

Fred Hardy

This TikTok-trending, veggie-packed salsa gets inspiration from Texas caviar (aka cowboy caviar), a dish created in 1940 to ring in the New Year by Helen Corbitt, who was a chef at Neiman Marcus. Scoop it up with tortilla chips or try it as a topping for grilled meat or fish, or as a filling for a quick quesadilla.

Esquites (Mexican Corn)

This street corn dish, known as esquites, is served in cups instead of on the cob for all the flavor of elote without the mess.

Cheesy Jalapeño Corn Dip

Creamy melted cheese brings sweet corn and spicy jalapeño together with a nice pop of brightness from lime juice and cilantro in this tasty dip inspired by Mexican elote and esquites. This creamy and satisfying dish can be served with tortilla chips and veggies for dipping.

Skillet Corn

This skillet corn recipe features plenty of sweet, fresh summer corn. A small amount of aromatics complement the corn but don't overpower it. Parsley adds color and freshness.

Cheesy Corn Casserole

This cheesy corn casserole is surprisingly light and fluffy, thanks to eggs and a whirl in the blender. The sweet corn batter and salty Cheddar cheese make this casserole pleasing to kids and adults alike.

Black Bean, Corn & Avocado Pasta Salad

Serve this colorful, veggie-packed pasta salad at your next outdoor gathering. From creamy avocado to crunchy bell peppers, this pasta salad is full of texture and flavor. A homemade herb-lime vinaigrette ties everything together.

Air-Fryer Roasted Corn Salsa

This easy corn salsa has a great depth of flavor, thanks to the air fryer. "Roasting" the corn, pepper and tomatoes brings out smoky and caramelized notes in the vegetables. Use this dip as a pairing with meat or fish, or scoop it up with your favorite tortilla chips.

Avocado & Corn Salad

In this fresh summer salad recipe, sweet corn and honey balance nicely with tomatoes, avocado and lime juice. Bring it along to your next summer picnic or pair it with grilled shrimp or chicken for an easy weeknight meal.

Mexican Street Corn

Soaking the corn in its husk in water for up to two hours before grilling is definitely a new approach to cooking corn on the cob, but give it a try! The addition of salt, spices and cheese takes this side dish to new levels.

Corn Fritters with Yogurt-Dill Sauce

This healthier version of classic corn fritters uses less oil for frying but still packs plenty of fresh corn flavor. A creamy dill sauce on the side brightens up each bite.

Stir-Fried Carrots, Corn & Peppers

This eclectic stir-fry is a colorful combination of carrot, red bell pepper, corn and romaine lettuce. This recipe exemplifies how to stir-fry vegetables with different textures. The carrots, which are a "hard vegetable," should be stir-fried for a minute before adding "medium-hard" vegetables like peppers or corn, which require slightly less cooking. Finally, add "soft or leafy vegetables" in the last 30 seconds to ensure all the vegetables achieve the same level of doneness. Make sure the lettuce is dry--if it's wet when added to the pan, it will turn the stir-fry into a braise.

Here at EatingWell, we're big proponents of eating with the seasons. While some recipes are timeless (we'll never quit you, The Last Avocado Toast Recipe You'll Ever Need, Chicken Fajita Casserole and Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies), mixing things up throughout the year with recipes featuring the latest and greatest fruits and vegetables is a savvy way to not only save money but also diversify our diets.

And one person taking full advantage of summer's produce is Giada De Laurentiis. De Laurentiis' lifestyle brand Giadzy recently shared a must-make recipe on Instagram for Zucchini Prosciutto Spiedini with Pesto.

Similar to De Laurentiis' healthier chicken Parm, this summer side dish comes together in a matter of minutes and delivers major Italian flavor and a bit of gut-friendly fiber—and minimal carbs (here, about 8 grams per skewer).

"This is such a great side dish for spring and summer when you're ready to get outside and grill," says the former Food Network star, cookbook author, mom and entrepreneur. "The rich pesto … pairs so well with the savory prosciutto and zucchini."

Yep, those are the only three ingredients required to make this side dish sing. If you're feeling ambitious or have an herb garden overflowing with basil, you can blitz up a batch of De Laurentiis' Lemon-Basil Pesto (which she explains in the recipe), or our Basic Basil Pesto or Jason Mraz's creamy Avocado Pesto. Or try our shortcut and start with a jar of your favorite store-bought pesto. (ICYMI, here's exactly what makes a great pesto, according to an expert.)

From there, all that's left to do is fire up a gas or charcoal grill (or an indoor grill pan over medium-high heat). Grease the grates or spray the surface with cooking spray. Slice 3 medium zucchini into 10 or so ½-inch-thick rounds, cut 6 slices of prosciutto into quarters and round up about 1 cup of pesto.

On six skewers, thread one piece of zucchini and one folded quarter-slice of prosciutto. Repeat that squash-charcuterie pattern three more times on each skewer. When you're finished, you should have five pieces of zucchini and four portions of prosciutto on every kebab.

Drizzle the spiedini (Italian for "skewers") with olive oil and grill them, turning occasionally with heat-safe tongs, for about 5 minutes or until the squash is tender.

Use the tongs to remove the skewers from the grill, then, with a pastry brush, coat each stack with pesto. Enjoy alongside your favorite summer dinner idea such as Grilled Fish with Peperonata, Prosciutto Pizza with Corn and Arugula or Green Goddess Ricotta Pasta!
