How To MakeDiet Type: Paleo
Shopping List
- 3/4 cup raw whole nuts of choice (such as cashews, pecans, or walnuts)
- 1 tablespoon runny honey (Note 1)
- 1 teaspoon coconut sugar (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon spice of choice (optional, Note 2)
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Step 2: In a small bowl, mix all together the nuts, honey, optional sugar, and optional spice. It will be very sticky, but try to coat all of the nuts. Add a little more honey if needed.
- Step 3: Spread the sticky nuts in a single layer onto a parchment-lined baking sheet (aluminum foil does not work as well here, since it tends to stick). Use your hands to separate the nuts that have clumped together.
- Step 4: Bake for 7 to 9 minutes, or until the nuts are slightly bubbling and golden. Remove from the oven and cool. Once cooled enough to handle, use your hands to pry the nuts from the parchment.
- Serve: Enjoy immediately or store on the counter. These are delicious as a snack or as a salad topping in Candied Walnut and Apricot Kale Salad and Prosciutto and Arugula Salad.
Recipe Notes
Note 1: Vegan? Try substituting the honey with brown rice syrup. For lower-carb, yacon syrup can be used. Note 2: Spice options include cinnamon, rosemary, or thyme. Cashews + Chinese five spice blend is also delicious.
