Course: Others
Cuisine: Vegan, Keto, gluten-free

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups almonds or any combination of nuts
  • 2 1/4 cups walnuts
  • 2 1/4 cups pecans
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds optional--or add another 1/4 cup of nuts, raw
  • 2 tablespoons low-carb sweetener if using liquid sweetener, reduce water accordingly--use coconut sugar for paleo
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin ground
  • 1/4 teaspoon Coriander
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Toast nuts and seeds in a dry pan (optional; if you prefer your nuts raw, omit this step). 
  2. Mix all spices in a bowl.
  3. Boil water, coconut oil, and sweetener over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
  4. Pour over nuts and seeds, stirring continually until almost all liquid has evaporated.
  5. Sprinkle spice mixture over nut mixture and stir to coat.  
  6. Spread out to cool on cookie sheet or other large surface.

Notes

  • Spiciness: You can opt for a spicy version with the cayenne added as written; for a non-spicy version, just omit the cayenne.
  • Sweeteners: You can use any sweetener you like. Low carb or traditional. Of course if you opt for traditional, it won't be sugar-free anymore, but that's OK. I haven't tried it with other sweeteners, so I'm not sure how it will behave, but it should taste great either way.
