Ingredients
- 2 cups dried hominy (large corn kernels)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon erythritol
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, erythritol, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix well to create a thick paste.
Step 3
Add the dried hominy to the bowl and toss until evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Step 4
Spread the seasoned hominy in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 50 to 60 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
Step 6
Begin checking for doneness around the 50-minute mark. The corn nuts should be golden brown and crunchy.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on the baking sheet. The corn nuts will crisp up further as they cool.
Step 8
Once cooled, transfer the keto BBQ corn nuts to an airtight container for storage. They can be stored at room temperature for up to two weeks.
Step 9
Enjoy your crunchy, low-carb BBQ snack!
