Raw Nuts Candied a spiced... 3 variations.

I use raw almonds for these recipes, and I use a dehydrator at low temp to bond the favors by drying, rahter than roasting.

Why, barbecue once a nut I roasted, the good fats/oils they contain are broke down. Rendering them not as healthy, as well as subject to rancidity.

I rarely eat roasted nuts, or grains, or any kind of heat process oils, or shelf table deep fried foods like chips, because the oil content is rancid unless eaten within minutes...end of sermon.


Great combinations:


Maple Cinnamon:

2 TBSP pure maple syrup
1TSP vanilla extract
1TSP cinnamon

coat nuts, (good with Almonds and or Pecans) place in dehydrator
then, lightly dust dried nuts with cinnamon, or they will still be sticky



Tamari Almonds:

Soak almonds in wheat free tamari Sauce, or Braggs Amino Acids...which is fermented soy
half hour, half a day..whatever

Drain in a colander or sieve, then into your dehydrator, they are done when they are dry
and sooo fail-proof tasty!!! You will never miss cracking open a can of salty roasted nuts again!



Carob Almonds...Mmmm

I have tried these two ways. One with water and carob powder, and one with raw extra virgin coconut oil and carob powder
If oil is used, then a light dusting of carob powder is needed after removal form the dehydrator, as with Maple recipe above.

When coating the nuts with an oil mixture, use a bag and knead the bag with your hands until they are all coated thinly and evenly, a little goes LONG way..say one tsp only of coconut oil 1 tbsp of carob powder per 2 cups of nuts. Place in dehydrator, when dry, dust with carob powder.

If using water,nuts can be stirred in the water carob mix in a bowl, similar to working with tamari. Like TBSp carob and 1-2 tsp of water to 2 cups of nuts. Place in dehydrator until dry...that is all

If desired, you can add setvai powder...mix a few pinches into carb powder, before adding water or oil, to evenly distribute---a little goes a long way of stevia too---too much and it is bitter.
