🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Make sure it's nice and toasty!
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of Brazil nuts with 1 tablespoon of instant espresso powder or finely ground coffee beans. I prefer freshly ground beans. Really let the aromas wake you up!
- Add 1 teaspoon of olive oil to the nuts and coffee mixture. Gently toss everything together until the nuts are evenly coated. This is where a food processor can be handy if you're looking for a super fine coffee rub but it's not essential
- Spread the nuts in a single layer on a baking sheet. Don't overcrowd them; otherwise they won't roast evenly. Trust me on this one, I've learned the hard way!
- Roast the nuts for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning. You want them to be golden brown and fragrant, not charcoal!
- Once roasted, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the nuts cool completely on a wire rack. This helps them crisp up nicely. While cooling, make some tea or coffee. You've earned it!
- Once cool, store your delicious coffee-rubbed Brazil nuts in an airtight container. They're perfect as a snack, addition to salads, or even a crunchy topping for yogurt!
📝 Notes
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or cardamom.
- If using whole coffee beans, grind them finely before adding to the nuts.
- Don't over-roast the nuts! They should be golden brown, not burnt.
- Let the nuts cool completely before storing to maintain their crispiness
