Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh corn kernels (or frozen and thawed)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.75 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any other dairy-free milk)
- 1 equivalent large egg substitute (like flax egg or commercial egg replacer)
- 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the ingredients.
Step 2
In another bowl, whisk together the unsweetened almond milk and the prepared egg substitute until well combined.
Step 3
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until a thick batter forms.
Step 4
Fold in the corn kernels until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Step 5
In a large pan or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat to approximately 350°F (175°C).
Step 6
Using a spoon or small scoop, drop spoonfuls of the corn batter into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 7
Fry the corn nuggets for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Use a slotted spoon to remove the nuggets from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the Dairy-Free Crispy Corn Nuggets warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
