Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Makhana (Fox Nuts)
- 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground Cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Himalayan Pink Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
Instructions
Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the extra virgin olive oil to the skillet and allow it to warm for about 1 minute.
Add the makhana to the skillet, ensure that they are spread out evenly in a single layer. Roast them over medium heat, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Continue to roast the makhana for about 6-8 minutes until they become crispy and lightly golden. To check for doneness, press a makhana between your fingers; it should break easily.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, turmeric powder, ground cumin, Himalayan pink salt, and black pepper.
Once the makhana are roasted, reduce the heat to low and sprinkle the spice mixture over them.
Stir well to ensure even coating of the spices on all the makhana. Continue to cook for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly to avoid burning the spices.
Remove from heat and let the roasted makhana cool slightly before serving.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to one week. Enjoy your crunchy and flavorful Whole30 Roasted Makhana as a snack or an appetizer!
