For extra flavor, toss the cooked corn nuts with your favorite seasonings while they are still warm. Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket; work in batches for the best results. Make sure the corn is very dry before air frying to ensure maximum crispness. Store cooled corn nuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
