Foodie Friday: Protein Power Mixed Nut Mix
With all the travel coming up I thought it would be nice to give you guys a good mix you can pack with you before you hit the road!
Protein Power Mixed Nut Mix
Ingredients - Serves 6
1 cup frozen shelled edamame beans
1 tsp olive oil
1 pinch sea salt
⅓ cup pumpkin seed kernels
1⅓ cups peanuts
½ cup raw cashews
⅓ cup dried cranberries
Sea salt
Pepper
Directions:
1.) Set oven to 350°F / 180°C / Gas 4.
2.) If using frozen edamame, thaw or defrost them under warm water. Pat the edamame completely dry and leave them to rest on a dry towel for at least 1 hour at room temperature. This is important as they will not get crispy, if they are still wet.
3.) Add the edamame to a bowl along with olive oil and pinch of sea salt. Toss to combine.
4.) Spread the edamame on a baking tray lined with parchment OR a porcelain/glass baking dish. Bake in the oven for at least 30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway through to flip the edamame. The edamame should be crispy on the outside and seared along the edges.
5.) On another baking sheet lined with parchment, add pepitas (pumpkin seeds). Roast in the oven for no more than 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool.
6.) Allow the edamame to completely cool, then add it to a bowl along with the rest of the ingredients. Toss together and add sea salt to taste.
