Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Hominy - or large white corn kernels
- 2 ½ tbsp Olive Oil
- 2 tsp Seasonings
Instructions
- Prepare your corn (hominy) as described above by soaking them in water overnight. Then allow the corn to dry out on paper towels or a kitchen towel for about a half hour, padding them down as needed.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400. I like to give my basket a quick spray with nonstick as well.
- In a large bowl, whisk or use a fork to mix together your seasoning and the oil. Then transfer the kernels to the bowl, tossing them in the oil and seasonings. Use a large spoon to transfer spoonfuls of the kernels to the air fryer basket and then spread them evenly into a flat layer in the basket.
- Bake the kernels for ten minutes. Shake the basket and continue to bake for another 10-12 minutes or until done. Tip: shake a third time if needed to prevent burning. While your kernels are baking, you can line a baking sheet with a couple of layers of paper towels or clean lint-free kitchen towel. When the kernels are done baking, transfer them to the towels and allow them to cool.
Recipe Notes
As mentioned above, corn nuts are made from using large white corn kernels. Even just as popular is to actually use hominy.
Also mentioned, there is a bit of preparation that needs to be done before you make these corn nuts.
You will need to soak your kernels overnight in water to rehydrate. To do so simply place the kernels in a large bowl and cover the bowl with water. Let the kernels soak overnight. Then in the morning, simply drain the corn and spread them evenly over a few stacked paper towels or kitchen towel to dry, padding them down as needed with another towel, (a half-hour should work).
