Ingredients
- 2 cups Dried hominy corn (white or yellow)
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Directions
Step 1
Rinse and soak the dried hominy corn in water overnight to rehydrate them. Drain and rinse again before cooking.
Step 2
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rehydrated hominy corn with melted coconut oil, sea salt, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well to coat the kernels evenly.
Step 4
Spread the seasoned hominy in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5
Roast in the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes, until the corn nuts are golden brown and crunchy.
Step 6
Remove from the oven and let them cool completely. They will continue to harden as they cool.
Step 7
Store the roasted corn nuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
