Crispy Corn Recipe
Now, before we get started, let me show you what this crispy goodness looks like. Check it out:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of fresh or frozen corn kernels
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of onion powder
- ½ teaspoon of cayenne pepper (adjust to your spice level)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for deep frying
- Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- First things first, if you’re using frozen corn, let it thaw completely and dry it using a kitchen towel. This helps to make sure that your crispy corn gets that crunch we want.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Make sure it’s all combined nicely.
- Toss the corn kernels in the flour mixture until every piece is well coated. You want that flavor on every single kernel!
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. You want enough oil for the corn to float while frying. A good test is to drop a tiny piece of dough in the oil; if it sizzles, you ready to go!
- Carefully drop the coated corn into the hot oil in batches. Don’t overcrowd the pan, or they won’t crisp up! Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Once they’re golden, use a slotted spoon to remove the crispy corn and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain off any excess oil.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley if you like, and serve hot!
And that’s it, folks! You’ve got yourself some finger-licking Crispy Corn that’s perfect for any occasion. Trust me, once you start munching on these, you won’t be able to stop. Enjoy your snack time!
