Ingredients

  • cornbread - prepared
  • 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil
  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt
  • Red Pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • The boxed "Jiffy Cornbread Mix" is ideal for these - easy prep and ready in a "jiffy". Leftover cornbread is also wonderful for these - keep leftovers in freezer until ready to use, and thaw before toasting. 
  • Cut cornbread into 1" pieces, toss with vegetable oil and salt and pepper well.
  • Put cornbread pieces on cooking spray coated baking sheet and bake until golden brown, tossing occasionally. Keep an eye on them; these will over cook quickly because of the sugar in them.

Notes

I used leftover mini cornbread muffins for this recipe, but this wold work well with Jiffy Cornbread Mix, prepared according to the box.
