Corn Nut Fun Dip
Summer 2025
We love a creamy, cheesy veggie dip, but not when it’s 30°C out and it’s been in your backpack for an hour. Enter fun dip, a dry, flavour-packed mixture for dunking crudités. Taking inspiration from Sohla El-Waylly’s Ranch Fun Dip, we created our own take with crushed corn nuts as the base.
Serves 4 to 6
1 tbsp (15 mL) fennel seeds
1 cup (250 mL) corn nuts
1/2 cup (125 mL) nutritional yeast
1/2 tsp (2 mL) Aleppo pepper or dried chili flakes
1/2 tsp (2 mL) fine sea salt
Raw vegetables, such as cucumbers, celery and fennel, cut into wedges and spears for serving
1. Heat a small frying pan over medium. Add fennel seeds. Toast, stirring often, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer to a small plate to cool.
2. Combine cooled fennel seeds, corn nuts, nutritional yeast, Aleppo pepper or chili flakes, and salt in a large zippered plastic bag. Pound with a rolling pin until corn nuts are very finely crushed and no pieces are bigger than a lentil.
3. Serve in a wide, low bowl with vegetables on the side for dipping.
