SPICY GOLDEN TURMERIC CASHEWS [VEGAN, GLUTEN-FREE]

INGREDIENTS

• 3 cups cashews (soaked 2 hours)
• 2 tablespoons curry powder
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 2 teaspoons coconut sugar
• 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
• A pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)

PREPARATION

TO PREP:

1. Soak the cashews for 2 hours in cold water, then rinse and drain well. If you don’t have time for this, you can soak them for 5-10 minutes in hot water.
2. Mix all ingredients in a bowl well until all spices are completely soaked up and attached to the nuts, with no leftover spice in the bottom of the bowl.

TO DEHYDRATE:

1. Spread the nuts out on a single lined dehydrator sheet then dehydrate for 10-12 hours at 105°F or until completely dry and super crunchy. Remove and let cool.

TO BAKE:

1. Spread the nuts on a single baking tray and bake at 300°F for 20-25 minutes or until super crunchy and dry, turning half way through so they don’t burn. Leave to cool.
2. Once completely cool, store in a tightly sealed glass jar in the cupboard for up to a few months.
