Turmeric Roasted Almonds

The anti-inflammatory nature of turmeric, mixed with the healthy fats in nuts, makes these Turmeric Spiced Nuts one satisfying and healing snack.

Turmeric is one of my favorite spices to use in dishes. I even sometimes add it to my oatmeal. If anything should be called a ‘superfood’ it should be turmeric! It has amazing anti-inflammatory properties and research suggests that it helps combat diseases like Alzheimer’s, heart disease and even cancer. It doesn’t have an overly strong flavor so it can be easily masked which can be a good thing.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup almonds
• 1tsp Organic Turmeric
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp coconut oil

Directions:

• Preheat your oven to 180*C
• In a large bowl, add the nuts and seeds and give them a toss.
• Mix the coconut oil with the Turmeric.
• Pour the oil and turmeric mixture on top of the nuts and mix until they’re well coated.
• Transfer the nuts onto a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Make sure the nuts are on a single layer to ensure they all brown equally.
• Bake for 15 minute; give them a toss half way.
