Crispy corn nuggets - the easiest, crispiest summer side!


Hi Reader,

When I was a teenager in Illinois, I spent about a month detasseling corn. If you didn't grow up around cornfields, that's the job where you walk the rows in the July heat and pull the tassel off the top of every stalk. It is hot, buggy, and pretty miserable, and by the end of that summer, I was convinced I never wanted to look at corn again.

Luckily, that did not last.

These days, fresh summer sweet corn is one of my favorite things to cook with, and right now my obsession is turning it into crispy little corn nuggets. Golden and crunchy on the outside, sweet and tender in the middle, with cheddar, green onion, and a little paprika worked into the batter. They fry up in about a minute and they disappear off the plate faster than I can set it down.

They come together fast and are made for dipping. Sriracha mayo and ranch are the favorites at our house, with honey mustard a close third.

Crispy Corn Nuggets

If you're firing up the grill this weekend, this is the perfect crispy side next to burgers, brats, chicken, steak - you name it!


Enjoy!

Hi Reader, Can I ask a small favor? Over the past several years, Front Range Fed has grown from something I worked on during nap times and evenings into a community of people who simply love making good food for the people they care about.

Hi Reader, Folks, I don't know where you're reading this from, but if you're anything like me, you're probably melting. I'm visiting my mom in central Illinois this week and man, is it HOT! Before it gets too warm, Maya (my pup!) and I have been sneaking out for early morning walks down this quiet farm road... The corn is taller than I am, the cicadas are deafening, and by 10 a.m. I'm already looking for shade. The road along my Mom's house where Maya and I take our morning stroll. See her...

tomato, mozzarella, and pesto pasta salad

Hi Reader, Looking for the easiest, no-fuss potluck dish? This is it! I've made this 4-Ingredient Pasta Salad more times than I can count this summer for BBQs and neighborhood hangs, and it's made quite a regular appearance on our dinner table too, alongside a rotisserie chicken, when nights are hectic. It's fast, easy, holds up for several days in the fridge, and tastes best cold. And it can be yours, too, with just a packet of pasta, some small mozzarella balls, cherry tomatoes, and a jar...
