Crunchy, salty corn nuts made easy and healthier thanks to the air fryer. This is my basic recipe, but feel free to add additional flavors such as Cajun seasoning, ranch powder, BBQ seasoning, chili powder, taco seasoning, etc.

- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Place corn in a large bowl and cover with water; let sit to rehydrate, 8 hours to overnight.

Drain corn and spread out in an even layer on a large baking sheet. Pat dry with paper towels. Air-dry for 20 minutes.

Working in batches, place corn into the air fryer basket in an even layer and cook in the preheated air fryer for 10 minutes. Shake the basket and cook for 10 more minutes.

Mexican Martinis
These are a bit labor intensive but worth it. Fresh limes and a good lime squeezer are a must.
Cheese Omelette
This cheese omelette is great for breakfast. My husband loves omelettes and nothing makes him happier. When cooking an omelette, it's important that you keep the temperature on the low side, as you don't want it to turn brown.
Turnip with Coconut
My Indian mother-in-law makes this yummy side with turnips, but I actually like it best with celeriac. It could probably be adapted to any root-type vegetable. Hing (asafoetida powder) does not add to the flavor; it is actually to aid in digestion, so it is somewhat optional.
