Nutty Friday – Seasoned Cashews
A simple raw take on store-bought seasoned cashews, tossed with olive oil and a peppery, spicy blend then dried in the dehydrator.
The other day while picking up some fruit at Kroger I ran across some seasoned cashews under the name brand Yumnuts. They were seasoned in black pepper and other spicy spices, so I decided to attempt my own raw version. They are very simple to make, all you need is your choice of raw nuts, olive oil, and spices.
I chose cashews, and for the spices I went with a black pepper medley, chipotle, and cayenne pepper.
Enjoy your homemade yumnuts!
Ingredients
- About 2.5 cups raw nuts (I chose cashews)
- About 1/2 TBSP olive oil
- black pepper medley, chipotle, and cayenne pepper (or your choice of spices)
Method
1
Place about 2.5 cups of nuts into a mixing bowl and pour about 1/2 TBSP of olive oil over them and mix well.
2
Once they are coated with olive oil, season generously.
3
You can consume immediately, but I opted to throw mine in the dehydrator overnight to let the olive oil dry. I imagine they would air dry just as well.
