It's no secret. I like nuts and nut butters and especially love when the nuts are roasted! However, most nuts are typically roasted using vegetable oil which contains GMOs, but these bad boys are roasted using coconut oil and WOW does the house smell wonderful after these are made and they taste amazing! You get a lot of nutritional benefits from nuts such as vitamin E, magnesium, and omega-3 fatty acids, but nuts can easily be overeaten. Just make sure not to eat the whole batch in one sitting because approximately an ounce of almonds alone (about the size of a shot glass) has 14 grams of fat and more than 160 calories! Snack responsibly! :)
Ingredients:
- Coconut oil
- Salt (I use sea salt)
- Nut mix (I use almonds, cashews, pecans, pistachios)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Melt a spoonful (this can vary) of coconut oil in the microwave for 10 seconds, toss the nuts in a bowl with the oil, add the sea salt, and continue to toss it all together. Spread nuts in a pan and roast in the oven for 10 minutes. Pull out of the oven. Stir. Roast for 10 more minutes. Let cool and ENJOY!!!
Easy and delicious!
