It is a new year which a perfect time for me to re-commit to healthy eating. I have a goal to get back to my racing weight this winter. One of the strategies I have is to make sure I have healthy snacks.
My will power breaks down when I am hungry, so I need to have healthy snacks on hand. I got this in one of the daily emails I get from the Dr. Axe site.
I had all the ingredients on hand so it was easy to put together. It is a nice mix of salty and sweet. It may be just the thing I need to reduce my sugar intake which is also one of my goals this year.
I think almonds would also be great for this recipe and I am going to try that next time.
Salty Lime Roasted Cashews
2 cups raw cashews
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon sea salt
2 tablespoons lime juice
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Be sure all the nuts are coated. Turn the bowl on it's side if needed, since the liquids can pool at the bottom of the bowl.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring every 5 to 10 minutes.
- Allow to cool before eating. Store in a covered bowl.
