Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Dried hominy
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rinse and drain the dried hominy in a colander under cold water to remove any residues.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rinsed hominy with olive oil, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
Add the salt, garlic powder, paprika, and ground black pepper to the hominy and mix well to evenly distribute the spices.
Spread the hominy in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not crowded for even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the hominy for 60 to 75 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. Roast until the hominy is golden brown and crunchy.
Once done, remove the corn nuts from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. This will enhance their crunchiness.
Once cooled, serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to two weeks for a satisfying low carb snacking option.
