Ingredients
- 2 cups Dried corn (Hominy or Maize)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, ground black pepper, and brown sugar. Stir until well mixed.
Step 3
Add the dried corn kernels to the bowl. Drizzle olive oil over the kernels and add the apple cider vinegar for a tangy twist.
Step 4
Toss the corn kernels thoroughly in the spice mixture ensuring each kernel is well coated.
Step 5
Spread the seasoned corn kernels in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 6
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even cooking.
Step 7
Keep a close eye on the corn nuts during the last few minutes to prevent burning. They should be crunchy and golden brown.
Step 8
Remove the corn nuts from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet; they will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Step 9
Once cooled, store your BBQ corn nuts in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
