Air Fried Corn Nuts

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Preheat your air fryer to I like to give my basket a quick spray with nonstick as well.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.
