Spicy Paprika Macadamia Nuts (Keto)

Spicy Paprika Macadamia Nuts Keto

“Next to biltong and droewors, NUTS are probably the most popular go-to snack in our house. They just tick all the boxes as a perfect keto snack: high in fat, fibre and protein. We try and steer clear of the store-bought roasted nuts for several reasons: many mixed nuts packets (while convenient) usually include peanuts and almost always feature vegetable oil – two things which should be avoided on keto. However… in the spirit of being honest and transparent, I would be lying if I said we didn’t always have a packet kicking about. Anyway, honesty aside… during COVID-19 lock down, I found a packet of halved macadamia nuts in the pantry and got to work straight away when Funnyman said he was craving something spicy as a snack. These did not last long in our house – they were delicious!” – Monya

“Nuts are an ideal keto snack as they are high in fat and fibre. However, the amount you snack on should be monitored. Peanuts are frowned upon as a ‘clean’ keto snack, but there are plenty of other tasty options. These roasted nuts are moreish with a lovely hint of rosemary and a spicy kick from the cayenne pepper which you can adjust according to your preference. I scatter over a very small pinch of powdered erythritol as soon as it comes out of the oven, but this is entirely optional. Since you are roasting and seasoning the nuts yourself, please purchase unroasted, unsalted whole nuts for this recipe. If you like this recipe, you will LOVE the Roasted Macadamia Nuts (my personal favourite).” – Monya
