Looking for a good recipe to glaze nuts. I love a few glazed nuts in a salad. Any good ideas?
Glazed nuts
I recently bought some Torani sugar free syrups.
Pecans dipped in the Brown Sugar Cinnamon are really tasty on frozen yogurt.
I like to fry macadamias in a little butter and when golden toasted - throw in a little erythritol/stevia crystals for a little “candy” coating.
I’ve done pecans with both sweet and savory. In both cases, I toss the pecans with butter and coconut oil (enough to get them coated), then add the seasonings.
For savory, I usually go with chili powder, pepper, and maybe a little cayenne, if I’m looking for really hot.
For sweet, it’s Truvia (erythritol) and cinnamon.
Once seasoned, they go into the oven on a large cookie sheet, at VERY low temp (seriously, not over 200F as they will burn, and they do NOT taste good when burned), and roast. Can’t recall how long I roasted for last time, but I would check them every 10 minutes or so by pulling one out and seeing if it’s got the crunch you want.
As a bonus, the cinnamon pecans work nicely for a pseudo-breakfast cereal, with a splash of heavy cream over them.
I made a version of this http://genaw.com/lowcarb/coconut_crunch.html
on the weekend with just chopped nuts and shredded coconut. My version was just chopped almonds, walnuts and pecans, toasted in a large dry fry pan in batches, then tossed with the toasted coconut and 2 tbsp of Jordan’s English Toffee sugarfree syrup. Tastes great over homemade kefir!
