COOK TIME: 10 minutes
I used almonds for this recipe because it’s what I had on hand, but you can use any nuts you’d like. The slight differences will be seen in the cook time and measurement for each type of nut: for pecans, use 1½ cups (210 g) and cook on low for 2 to 3 minutes; for cashews, use 1¼ cups (200 g) and cook on low for 6 minutes; for walnuts, use 1½ cups (180 g) and cook on low for 3 minutes.
2 tablespoons coconut oil or ghee
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1¼ teaspoons finely ground sea salt
1 teaspoon erythritol
½ teaspoon ground cumin
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
Pinch of cayenne pepper
1¼ cups (200 g) raw almonds
- Melt the oil in a large frying pan over low heat. Once melted, add the rosemary, salt, erythritol, cumin, black pepper, and cayenne. Stir, then add the almonds.
- Cook, stirring the almonds every 30 seconds, for a total of 5 to 8 minutes, until the nuts begin to brown slightly. Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely before enjoying.
STORE IT: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 1 month. The nuts can be enjoyed straight from the freezer, no thawing needed.
