Absolutely. After coating the baby corn in batter, arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spray with a little oil and bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway, until crisp and golden.
Dry Baby Corn Manchurian is best eaten fresh as the fried corn will lose its crispiness and become soggy upon refrigeration. If you must store it, keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one day and reheat in a hot pan or oven to try and regain some crispness.
