Ingredients
- 14 ounce bag Giant White Corn also labeled as Maiz Mote Pelado
- 1/4 cup coconut oil or vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon sea salt
Instructions
- Soak the giant white corn overnight, for approximately 12-14 hours. Rinse and drain.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Toss corn with oil, sugar and salt in a large bowl.
- Place corn in single layer on a nonstick baking sheet. You can put parchment paper down first if you'd like to make it a easier cleanup.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes or until slightly browned. Every 10 minutes stir corn on the baking sheet. Keep a eye on them and remove immediately when they are brown as they can burn quickly.
- Let cool and enjoy! Store in mason jar or sealed bag.
Notes
Extra tips for making sure they're crunchy!
🌽 Make sure to drain them before roasting— any extra moisture can keep them from crisping up. You can even pat them with paper towels.
🔥 Try roasting them a little longer, and don’t be afraid to let them get deeply golden brown (just keep an eye on them so they don’t burn).
