Detox Bible – Day 2 – Spicy Nuts

Recipe from the book : 

Although high in calories, nuts make a good snack because they contain mono-saturated fat that can benefit heart health by lowering levels of blood cholesterol. The spices used for these nuts give them a real kick, with honey providing a welcome sweetness. You can substitute any nuts and seeds you have in your cupboard.

Ingredients:

 

50g whole almonds

50g cashew nuts

50g home-shelled pistachios

50g brazil nuts, cut in half

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp chilli powder

1 tsp ground ciamon

A pinch of ground cumin

A pinch of ground turmeric

1 tsp runny honey

Procedure: 

1. Pre-heat your oven to 180`C/fan 160`c/gas 4. Line a baking tray with grease-proof paper.

2. Put all the nuts in a mixing bowl and add the spices and honey. Mix together well.

3. Spread out on the baking tray and toast in the heated over for 8 minutes. Leave to cool completely. The nuts can be kept in an airtight container for a few weeks.

My Inputs: 

• I used Maple syrup instead of honey and the taste was fabulous!
• You might need to add just a pinch of chilli instead of a tsp.
• A little experiment along with garlic would work great too!
• Works as a perfect snack anytime anywhere!
• This was my first time with oven wherein I used a butterpaper to toast something. I am loving the book with every recipe I try. Super easy.
