Spicy walnuts - from FOK

I can see how these can be addictive.  They have a surprising amount of sugar for a FOK recipe - but I guess because it's maple sugar its ok.  I used coconut sugar because that's what I had, and cut the chipotle quite a bit, but I think I'll use a little more next time. 

This was meant to be prepared in a dehydrator, but if you don't have one, roast at 170 (or your oven's lowest temperature). 

My major mistake was using only 1 cup of walnuts for this first endeavor.  They'll be gone shortly!!

Ingredients:

1 cup walnuts

2 cups water

Soak the walnuts for 3-4 hours.  Drain and discard the water (I tasted it - quite bitter)

• 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon 
• 1/2 tsp chipotle powder 
• 1/2 cup maple sugar, finely ground 
• 1 1/2 tsp sea salt 



To prepare the mixture, place walnuts in a mixing bowl with the remaining ingredients and toss well.

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.  Roast at the lowest oven temperature (usually 170) for 1-2 hours.  Check after an hour to be sure they are not burning. 

Remove them from the baking sheet when you take them out of the oven, so they stop cooking. 

Enjoy!
