Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Rinse and soak the dried hominy corn in water overnight to rehydrate them. Drain and rinse again before cooking.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
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.
Spread the seasoned hominy in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast in the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes, until the corn nuts are golden brown and crunchy.
Remove from the oven and let them cool completely. They will continue to harden as they cool.
Store the roasted corn nuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
