Nutty Friday – Seasoned Cashews
Black pepper medley, chipotle, and cayenne pepper seasoned cashews.
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. To season the nuts, place about 2.5 cups into a mixing bowl and pour about 1/2 TBSP of olive oil over them and mix well. Once they are coated with olive oil season generously. 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.
Enjoy your homemade yumuts!
Those look yummy!
We are thrilled that you were inspired by our product to try to make it on your own. I like the idea of putting them in a dehydrator to keep them lighter. In fact, that is one of the key differences of Yumnuts. We dry-roast without oil and do not use any oil in the seasoning process either. The result is a lighter, cleaner, crunchier and healthier nut. Thanks for helping to spread the Yum!
