The corn nuggets are an Israeli snack invented back at the beginning of the 90s. In the local cuisine, it is simply called corn schnitzel, for the breadcrumbs crust.
It has immediately become a family favorite and has remained, ever since, a staple in children's meals. We give you the unprocessed, homemade version, for a healthy snack your children are sure to go crazy for.
Serve with your very own homemade ketchup and mayonnaise.

In a blender or food processor, pulse 1 cup of canned corn until it becomes a smooth paste.

Cover in clingwrap and chill in the fridge for an hour. Preheat oven to 360°F.
-
Mix the remaining 1 cup of breadcrumbs with the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil. This will be the crust.
