“Chex Mix” Nuts
Just don’t see this as an excuse to eat all the snacky nut options you find in the store that are covered in candy or coated with sugar. If you go that direction you’re negating the benefits of nuts. Most of the time I don’t even buy nuts with commercialized salt on them. Much better to start with raw nuts and roast them yourself with a variety of flavorings. I have probably six different nut combo recipes for Plan Z snacking. I offer one up to you here today.
“Chex Mix” Nuts
These nuts taste eerily like the ones in the famous Chex Mix only I left off the Chex and the pretzels. These are a huge hit. The recipe easily doubles or triples for a big batch.
Ingredients:
3 cups of nuts. These can be mixed nuts, peanuts, a combo of pecans and walnuts. Let your nut brain run wild and choose your favorites.
Olive oil spray
3 tsp Worcestershire sauce
A grate of sea salt.
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp cayenne (or to taste)
Instructions:
Pour the nuts into an ovenproof pan. Spray nuts with oil and toss. Sprinkle on the seasonings and the Worcestershire. Toss thoroughly. Roast in your oven at 375 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes. When you start smelling the wonderful aroma, or when you spy a little browning on the edges, take them out of the oven. You’ll also know they are done when the moisture from the Worcestershire sauce has basically soaked into the nuts. Now, toss one more time. Cool on paper towels. You can even eat them warm and really savor the coating.
Enjoy!
Cheers,
