Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Rinse the Corn
Place the dried corn kernels in a fine mesh strainer and rinse them under cold running water to remove any dust or impurities.
- 2
Soak the Corn (optional)
For better results, soak the corn in water for 8 hours or overnight. This step is optional but helps to achieve a more tender texture.
- 3
Drain the Corn
If you soaked the corn, drain it using the fine mesh strainer and let it sit for a few minutes to remove excess water.
Toasting
- 4
Heat the Skillet
In a large skillet, heat over medium heat. If using oil, add it to the pan and allow it to heat up for a minute.
- 5
Add the Corn
Add the rinsed and drained corn kernels to the skillet. Spread them out in an even layer.
- 6
Toast the Corn
Toast the corn, stirring occasionally, for about 10-15 minutes or until the kernels are golden brown and have a crunchy texture.
- 7
Season with Salt
Once the corn is toasted, sprinkle the salt over it and stir well to combine. Adjust the salt to taste.

Cool and Serve
Remove the toasted corn from the skillet and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve as a snack or as a side dish.
