Corn Nuggets Recipe

Ingredients:
– 2 cups corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
– 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/4 cup cornmeal
– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1/4 cup milk
– 1 egg
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions Step by Step:
1. In a large bowl, combine the corn kernels, flour, cornmeal, Parmesan cheese, milk, egg, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
2. Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
3. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the corn mixture into the hot oil.
4. Flatten the nuggets slightly with the back of the spoon and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
5. Remove the nuggets from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
6. Repeat the process with the remaining corn mixture, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
7. Serve the corn nuggets hot with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them on their own.

Tips:
For a cheesy twist, add shredded cheddar or pepper jack cheese to the corn mixture before frying. You can also mix in chopped jalapenos or green onions for a spicy kick.
To make ahead, freeze the uncooked corn nuggets on a baking sheet until firm, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. When ready to eat, fry them straight from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
For a healthier option, bake the corn nuggets in a preheated oven at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Corn nuggets are a delicious and versatile dish that is sure to please any crowd. Whether you’re serving them as a snack at a party or as a side dish for dinner, these crispy bites are always a hit. Give this recipe a try and enjoy the sweet and savory flavors of homemade corn nuggets!
