Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Makhana (Foxnuts)
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by gathering all the ingredients and placing the makhana (foxnuts) in a sieve.
Rinse the makhana under cold water and let them drain completely.
In a large skillet or pan, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.
Once the oil is warm, add the makhana to the skillet.
Roast the makhana by stirring them continuously for about 5-7 minutes or until they become crisp and crunchy.
Reduce the heat to low and add the sea salt, turmeric powder, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Mix well to ensure the spices coat the makhana evenly.
Continue to roast for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the spices to infuse into the makhana.
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the makhana cool down slightly.
Serve the Paleo Roasted Makhana warm, or store them in an airtight container for later use.
