Cooking Substitutions
- Match & match nuts: Swap in your favorite nuts or seeds but make sure to adjust cooking time if using smaller seeds. Try incorporating cashews, hazelnuts, pumpkin seeds or peanuts.
- Cooking fat: If you’re not a fan of bison tallow, try swapping in pork leaf lard for another neutral flavor cooking fat. We haven't tried this recipe with beef tallow; however, since this recipe is savory the beef flavor may get hidden by the spices. Let us know if you try it with beef tallow!
Rosemary & Lime Roasted Nuts with Bison Tallow
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 12-14 minutes
Total time: 20 minutes
Makes: 1 cup
Ingredients
1 cup mixed unsalted almonds and walnuts (or your favorite nuts)
1 tbsp bison tallow, melted
1 ½ tsp chili powder
¼ tsp cumin
1 ½ tsp fresh rosemary, diced
Juice from ½ a small lime
½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300 F.
- In a small pot, add bison tallow over medium-high heat. Once the tallow is completely melted, turn off and set aside.
- In a small bowl add the almonds, walnuts and melted bison tallow. Mix the nuts quickly so they are evenly coated with the tallow. Then add in the chili powder, cumin, salt, lime juice and diced rosemary. Using a spoon combine the mixture until well coated.
- Line a sheet tray with parchment paper. Spread the nuts on the tray making sure they are in a single layer.
- Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until golden brown. Halfway through baking give it a good shake to mix the nuts. Once done, remove from the oven and let cool. As the nuts cool they will go from soft to crunchy.
- Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
