Easy Keto NUTS! Candied | Spiced | Garlic Roasted

These Keto nut recipes are just suggestions, the possibilities are endless with spices and flavoring you can add to the nuts, using the same techniques. I've made all sorts of combinations using all different kinds of nuts, sweet and savory for Christmas gifts.
I have create a patreon account. I have many ideas for the future of this channel and maybe even creating my own keto line of desserts at some point. I'm going to be posting some inspirational stuff over there along with more information about my life, past, present and future. I'm excited to take this extra step and do some extra content for supporters. Some behind the scenes of my recipe testing successes and fails alike. Maybe even some merch down the line!

Keto Thai Sweet Chili Dry Mix:
2 Tbs. Granular alternative sweetener
1 Tbs. Finely ground Himalayan salt (if using other kinds of salt start with less and add more to taste)
1 1/2 tsp. Granulated garlic
1 1/2 tsp. granulated onion
1 1/2 Tbs. golden alternative sweetener
1 Tbs. Kissed by the sun brand- sunny island spice mix- Garlic, onion, lemon, green and red pepper and paprika (ground in a coffee or spice grinder)
1 1/2 Tbs. Chili Powder (1 Tbs. + 1 1/2 tsp.)
1 tsp. paprika
This makes more than enough for a few batched of spiced nuts. All these amounts of spices are to your own taste. I always suggest tasting the spice mix before using it to make sure the salt to sugar ratio is to my liking. But don't forget you are adding more salt with the soy and sriracha.
Making the NUTS!!
2 Cups of unsalted raw almonds, pecans, pumpkin seeds or any nut you prefer
4 Tbs. spice mix
1 tsp. low sodium soy sauce, tamari or coconut aminos
1-3 tsp. sriracha depending on how much spice you want to add
2-4 Tbs. water (enough to create a thick paste that will coat the nuts)
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Mix the dry ingredients water, soy and sriracha together and taste for seasoning and spice level. Dump in nuts and coat well, place on a silt pat or parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 10 minute increments tossing to recoat the nut after each 10 minutes until the seasoning is baked and dried to the outside of the nuts. Should take about 30 minutes total. Once they cool store in an airtight container.
Garlic Roasted Nuts
2 cups of pine nuts, pumpkin seeds, pecans ect.
4 Medium cloves of garlic
Enough avocado oil to coat the bottom of a small sauce pan.
Salt and Pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Toast nuts until they become fragrant 5-10 minutes. Slice garlic evenly, as thin as an 1/8th of an inch to 1/4 inch thick. Gently heat garlic in the pan of oil over medium low heat until they just start turning brown. Pull from heat and place in a dish to stop the cooking, they will continue to brown still to a nice golden brown. Pour nuts into a bowl and ladle the garlic chips into the bowl with the nuts with just a little bit of the oil to coat the nuts. Add salt and pepper to taste. Once cool, store in an air tight container.
Cinnamon and Sugar Nuts
2 Cup of unsalted raw nuts
1/2 cup alternative sweetener of choice
1/4 tsp. cinnamon (or any spice you want, to taste)
1/4 tsp. any extract you'd like (optional)
2 Tbs. water (more or less depending on the sweetener) you want a thick paste that will coat the nuts
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Mix sweetener, cinnamon and water together. Toss in your nut of choice, spread on a silt pat of parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 10 minute increments tossing to recoat the nut after each 10 minutes until the sugar is baked and almost dried to the outside of the nuts. Continue to toss as they cool. Store in an airtight container.
Macros all depend on the nuts used

I’m so glad I found your channel. There’s so many recipes out there that I don’t know what to try.

[@debbiethompson6240]

Yum!!!

[@barbarafoster8140]

Congratulations!

[@kathyforester3791]

Squiring gold is my fav. Soooo good

[@Rowdy216]

I think your boyfriend sent me here from a hammock group. I definitely want to try these for camping, and backpacking.

[@KetoUpgrade]

Yes he did, thanks for subscribing! I always bring these camping with us, great with meat and cheese snacks to add some crunch🙂

[@KetoUpgrade]

Gonna start doing some keto camping videos in the future!

[@heavyset0223]

Nice techniques. I make my candied pecans that tast just like eating a whole pecan pie.

[@justpassinthru]

We've done the cinnamon 'pea-cans'- in the south😁 but we use egg white instead of water.

Yum! If you wanted the wasabi flavored nuts what combo would you use?

[@KetoUpgrade]

They sell wasabi powder, I'm not sure of the other ingredients in wasabi nuts. But I would just look at the ingredient label on them and see if they add anything else to it, that's what I do when I try to mimic a recipe. Flavored nuts usually work better if there is some kind of sugar.

[@kathyforester3791]

That should be Sukrin lol

[@edsoutlawmotorsports1332]

Would this work in a air fryer? Or instant pot with air fryer top?

[@KetoUpgrade]

Hmm idk. I just got an airfryer. I heard you can saute them on the stove top so you could probably saute them in the instant pot. The actual airfry function may be too hot an burn the nuts.
