Crispy Nuts

Posted on | November 28, 2008 | 7 Comments

This snack is a staple in our household. Here’s how I make Crispy Nuts:

1.Soak almonds or walnuts (this activates their enzymes) in water with 1 TBS salt for 12 hours.

2. Drain and dehydrate (this preserves their enzymes) on a baking sheet in a warm oven*
until crispy (about 12 hours).

You can do this with virtually any nut; cashews, pecans, hazelnuts, and pine nuts are all particularly good!

*To dehydrate in the oven, set oven at lowest setting and keep the door slightly ajar if over 110 degrees.

    Hi,

    When you soak your nuts do you leave them out on the counter or place them in the refrigerator.
    Enjoy your site very much!

    What is the ratio of nuts to salt? 1 TBS of salt sounds like a lot, so i’m wondering what the volume of nuts should be.

    I do 1 TBS of salt to 4 cups of nuts. I know it seems like a lot, but in the end it makes a nice, subtle salty taste!
