“Nuts are the ULTIMATE fat snack and macadamias are particularly delicious when roasted. If you can spend 15 minutes once or twice a week to prepare a batch of roasted macadamia nuts, you will have plenty of servings. After roasting these super-tasty, satisfying fat bombs, I scatter over a pinch of salt and powdered erythritol as soon as they came out the oven. Be sure to allow them to cool completely before storing in a sealed container. The macros are calculated on a portion size of 35g / 1.2oz – which is ample for a quick snack to crunch on between meals. They smell like popcorn and taste like heaven!” – Monya

The majority of the fat in macadamia nuts is monounsaturated fat, which is heart healthy. Monounsaturated fats can help reduce bad cholesterol levels and lower the risk of heart disease.
The combination of healthy fats and fibre can help promote satiety and reduce overall calorie intake. This can support weight management on a ketogenic diet. Macadamias also contain antioxidants like flavonoids and tocopherols, which help combat oxidative stress and reduce the risk of diseases.
Macadamia nuts contain small amounts of essential minerals like magnesium and manganese, which play a role in maintaining bone health. Although they are calorie-dense, they provide a good amount of essential nutrients, including healthy fats and fibre, in a small serving.
It is important to note that to maintain ketosis, it’s essential to track carbohydrate intake and ensure it aligns with your daily macro goals. Consulting with a healthcare professional is advised before making significant dietary changes.

Best-ever Roasted Macadamia Nuts
Per serving
Ingredients
- 250 g (8.8 oz) macadamia nuts
- pinch salt
- pinch powdered erythritol, confectioners
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan oven). This is 200°C for conventional ovens (or 400°F / gas mark 6).
- Remove the nuts from the packet in small handfuls and spread out on a tray lined with parchment paper. (I do this because emptying all the contents from the packet will result in the nut ‘dust’ that is present at the bottom of the packet from being added and burning.)
- Place the tray into the oven for 15 minutes, shaking and rotating the tray after 8 minutes to ensure even roasting. (Work swiftly, as you do not want the oven door open too long as you will lose heat.)
- Remove the tray from the oven and scatter over a pinch of salt and a pinch of Swerve while still hot. Toss to evenly coat.
- Allow the nuts to cool completely before storing in a sealed container. Happy munching!
