Part 5/9:
For a more savory option, Kayla introduces her ranch-flavored roasted almonds. She coats raw almonds with a mixture of avocado or coconut oil, nutritional yeast, dried herbs (dill, chives, parsley), onion and garlic powders, paprika, and sea salt. Roasted at 325°F for 18-20 minutes with occasional tossing, these homemade nuts are a healthier alternative to store-bought options containing undesirable vegetable oils.
She stresses the importance of roasting your own nuts to control ingredients and avoid inflammation-inducing oils. Once cooled, these almonds serve as a crunchy, satisfying snack ideal for protein and healthy fat intake.
