(there were too many nut puns out there to choose just one. insert your own inappropriate title here.)

the title of this recipe from the source: Best Roasted Nuts Ever. 

simple, but true.

i made my first batch this week & every person i've shared them with has asked for the recipe.

(that rarely happens to me, so i revel in the glory!)

as a bonus, they are super healthy!

(unless you eat 3/4 of the batch in TWO days. not that i would do something like that. i'm just saying.)



2 cups of RAW mixed nuts (no salt. no oil. nada. just NUTS.)
1 TBS coconut oil
1 tsp sea salt (i used kosher)
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
zest of 1 lime

preheat oven to 350 degrees.

place the nuts on a cookie sheet & bake for about 5 minutes. then shake them up/flip them over (i.e. spill nuts all over your kitchen floor) & bake for 5 more minutes.

**the original recipe says 10 min & then 5 more. i have lost MANY recipes of roasted nuts because they burn before the time is up. i have learned my lesson. test it out for yourself in your own oven.**

pour the nuts into a bowl & mix with coconut oil until the nuts are all coated. stir in the seasoning & lime zest. then spread them back onto the baking sheet to cool.

I WOULD HAVE INSERTED A FANCY PHOTO HERE 

IF I HAD NOT ALREADY EATEN ALL THE DAMN NUTS. 

how about a koala bear instead? 

happy friday!
