CARAMELIZED PECANS

Do you like crispy and sweet nuts?

Whether you eat these pecans on their own or add them to a variety of dishes, they’re such an easy way to add flavour and texture to so many healthy recipes!

It will only take you 5 minutes to make on the stovetop and you could eat them in salads, healthy snacking, food gifts, and more!

I try not to keep too many of these around because they’re so good, I want to eat them all!! I had to bring most of them to work so I wouldn’t devour them…!

DIABETIC DIET TIP

This is a great any-time-of-the-day healthy snack!!! It does have coconut sugar, but in a very small amount. Plus, it has cinnamon, which lowers blood sugar levels as you may know. If you want to learn more about the powerful benefits of cinnamon, I will be posting all the information on the Ingredients section of this blog.

Thanks to the combination of the healthy fats that the pecans bring along with the benefits of the cinnamon, you won’t have a sugar spike when eating these crispy and delicious caramelized pecans! (remember to not eat the whole batch of pecans though.. haha!)

INGREDIENTS

200gr raw pecans (halves)
2 tablespoons or 30ml unsalted grass-fed butter+
1/4 cup or 60gr coconut sugar
1 teaspoon or 5gr ground cinnamon

STEPS

In a bowl, combine the coconut sugar with the cinnamon and the melted grass-fed butter.
Add the pecan halves and mix everything together.
Combine all the pecan halves in a skillet and cook over medium heat for about 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they toast (be careful, its very easy to burn them!)
Remove from the heat, and spread the pecans out on parchment paper to let the pecans cool completely.

* Store them in an airtight glass container atrium temperature or fridge for 2 weeks.

Muchas veces es inevitable picar entre horas… pero si se hace, que al menos sea nutritivo!

Yo intento siempre combinar lo que coma con una fuente de proteínas. En este caso, unos frutos secos siempre son buena opción y lo acompañas de la proteína que más te apetezca, sea salada o dulce.

Estas nueces pacanas están caramelizadas ligeramente, y están deliciosas! Llevan canela y un toque de azúcar de coco con mantequilla o aceite de coco.

Esta receta de snack saludable se puede hacer con cualquier frutos seco realmente, ya sean almendras, pistachos, anacardos, etc.

INGREDIENTES

200gr nueces pecanas crudas (mitades)
2 cucharadas o 30ml de mantequilla de vacas de pasto sin sal
1/4 taza o 60gr azúcar de coco
1 cucharadita o 5gr canela en polvo

PASOS

En un bol, mezclar el azúcar de coco con la canela y la mantequilla derretida.
Añadir las nueces pecanas y mezclar todo bien.
Verter las nueces en una sartén e ir removiéndolas a menudo durante 3 minutos hasta que se tuesten (tener cuidado, ya que se pueden quemar fácilmente!!)
Retirar del fuego y esparcir las nueces en un plato hasta que se enfríen.

* Conservar en un recipiente de cristal a temperatura ambiente o en la nevera durante 2 semanas.
