Steps:
- Prepare your corn (hominy) as described above by soaking them in water overnight. Then allow the corn to dry out on paper towels or a kitchen towel for about a half hour, padding them down as needed.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400. I like to give my basket a quick spray with nonstick as well.
- In a large bowl, whisk or use a fork to mix together your seasoning and the oil. Then transfer the kernels to the bowl, tossing them in the oil and seasonings. Use a large spoon to transfer spoonfuls of the kernels to the air fryer basket and then spread them evenly into a flat layer in the basket.
- Bake the kernels for ten minutes. Shake the basket and continue to bake for another 10-12 minutes or until done. Tip: shake a third time if needed to prevent burning. While your kernels are baking, you can line a baking sheet with a couple of layers of paper towels or clean lint-free kitchen towel. When the kernels are done baking, transfer them to the towels and allow them to cool.

AIR FRYER CORN RIBS
This is my fun take on air-fried elote ribs. Cutting the corn this way causes them to curl up in the shape of ribs once cooked. This also makes the corn a lot easier to handle and eat, not to mention a lot less messy.

- Ensure the corn kernels are dry and free of moisture. Residual moisture could lead to soggy corn nuts. - Use non-GMO, fresh corn kernels for optimum results. - For crispier texture, remove the hulls from the corn kernels before air frying. - Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes at 350°F (175°C) to ensure even cooking. - Toss the corn kernels in olive oil or melted butter and salt to enhance flavor and texture. - Use a single layer of corn kernels to avoid uneven cooking and steaming. - Shake the air fryer basket halfway through the cooking process to ensure uniform browning. - Cooking times may vary slightly depending on the size and type of corn kernels used. Be watchful to avoid burning. - Let the corn nuts cool for a few minutes before serving to allow them to crisp up further.Conclusion
