Special Precautions and Tips:
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket, as this will prevent the corn kernels from cooking evenly.
- If the corn kernels start to smoke, reduce the air fryer temperature and cook for a shorter period of time.
- Allow the corn nuts to cool slightly before eating, as they will be hot when they come out of the air fryer.
