Ingredients
- 2 cups dried corn kernels
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon optional: ground cumin
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Rinse dried corn kernels in cool water and drain well using a colander.
Step 3
Spread the drained corn kernels on a clean towel and pat them dry. They should be as dry as possible to ensure proper roasting.
Step 4
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, onion powder, and optional ground cumin. Mix until well blended.
Step 5
Add the dried corn kernels to the bowl with the oil and spice mixture. Toss until all corn kernels are evenly coated.
Step 6
Spread the seasoned corn kernels in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
Step 7
Roast the corn kernels in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even roasting. They should be golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. The corn nuts will become crunchier as they cool.
Step 9
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
