Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the corn kernels in a single layer and cook, stirring only once or twice, until the kernels are lightly charred in spots and fragrant, about 5–7 minutes. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and let cool for 5 minutes.
