Sweet & Spicy Nuts & Seeds
Sweet & Spicy Nuts & Seeds
It's crunch time for Christmas ideas! Check out this recipe from our London ON Chiropractor Janna House for a great last-minute Christmas idea.
Yield: 6 cups
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of each of the following, or any nuts & seeds of your choice: pecans, walnuts, cashews, almonds, sunflower seeds & pumpkin seeds.
- 3 tablespoons butter (or coconut oil), melted
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Directions:
- Grease a crockpot with coconut oil.
- Dump your nuts and seeds into the prepared crockpot.
- In a small bowl, melt butter or coconut oil, then add the maple syrup and spices.
- Pour the sweet and spicy mixture over the nuts. Stir well with a big spoon or spatula to ensure that the nuts are well mixed and consistently coated in the sweet and spicy mix.
- Cover and cook on high for 30-60 minutes (depending on how hot your crockpot gets), stirring occasionally. Then lower the heat to “low” and cook for another hour or an hour and a half. Whenever you take the lid off to stir the pot, be sure to wipe any condensation from the lid, as you want the nuts/seeds to become dry.
- You may even want to put the lid on slightly ajar, so they can dry out.
- Once the nuts/seeds seem dry, pour them onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet to cook and to finish drying.
- If the nuts/seeds still seem a little sticky or wet, place them in the oven at 200° for another hour, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from oven, and allow the nuts/seeds to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container, like a Mason jar. You can decorate it with a ribbon and label or tag and give as a homemade gift.
Enjoy!
