Ingredients
- 1 cup sweet corn kernels
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.75 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg white
- 0 cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Step 2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, baking powder, salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix well.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg white until well blended.
Step 4
Add the sweet corn kernels to the buttermilk mixture and stir to coat the kernels.
Step 5
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. The batter should be thick enough to hold together.
Step 6
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and drop them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Step 7
Lightly spray the tops of the corn nuggets with cooking spray to promote even browning.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then flip the nuggets and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until golden and crisp.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet to firm up before serving.
Step 10
Serve your crispy corn nuggets warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
