Whether you're feeding students, customers, or busy professionals, here are seven easy, on-trend ways to use Rockin’ola Corn Crunch across your foodservice menus.

 

1. Salad & Bowl Topping Extraordinaire

Croutons? Out. Corn Crunch? In.

Sprinkle Corn Crunch on salads, grain bowls, or taco salads to deliver a satisfying crunch without gluten, nuts, or allergens. It holds its texture longer than standard toppings and adds a burst of bold, savory flavor.

 

2. Soup & Chili Garnish

Move over oyster crackers. Corn Crunch makes an unexpected and delicious garnish for tomato soup, chili, tortilla soup, or chowders. Just a handful adds texture and personality to every bowl—no allergens required.

 

3. Crunchy Crust for Proteins or Veggies

Use crushed Corn Crunch as a gluten-free breading alternative for:

  • Baked chicken tenders
  • Fish fillets
  • Tofu slabs
  • Roasted cauliflower “steaks”

The result? A golden, crispy coating with a mild, craveable corn flavor—perfect for school lunches, healthcare meals, or catered buffets.

 

4. Snack Pack or Bento Box Star

Corn Crunch is a natural fit for snack packs, lunch trays, and bento boxes. Its bold flavor stands alone or pairs well with:

  • Cheese cubes (or dairy-free alternatives)
  • Fresh fruit
  • Veggies and dips
  • Dried fruit or allergen-free chocolate chips

It’s portion-friendly and perfect for on-the-go or classroom snacking.

 

5. Mac & Cheese or Casserole Topper

Looking to jazz up a classic? Sprinkle crushed-up Corn Crunch on baked mac & cheese or vegetable casseroles before baking. It adds a crispy topping that holds up beautifully and turns everyday comfort food into something special.

 

6. Bar or Café Snack Option

Offer single-serve Corn Crunch as a savory snack at:

  • Bars
  • Juice or smoothie stands
  • Concession areas
  • Grab-and-go coolers

With its allergen-safe profile, it’s a guilt-free, school-safe choice for any age group.

 

7. Signature House Blend

Get creative and make your own signature snack mix by combining Corn Crunch with:

  • Dried fruits
  • Seed blends
  • Air-popped popcorn
  • Seasoned chickpeas or lentils

Offer it in bulk for cafeteria lines, or package it as your very own allergen-free trail mix.
