WHAT’S THE SECRET INGREDIENT?
Coconut aminos are always in my pantry y’all, always! If you haven’t tried it you’ll find the bottle near the soy sauce usually in the grocery. Think of it as a thinner version of a typical soy sauce and a lightly sweet teryaki all rolled up one but made from coconut nectar instead 🙂 GLUTEN AND SOY FREE….Whole30 compliant life saver sauce.
Each brand has a slightly different flavor profile, my two favorites for this recipe are below; Big Tree and Bragg’s.
HELPFUL TIPS
It’s all about the oven for these Roasted Coconut Amino Cashews. Mix the cashews with the aminos and drop them on a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Spread them out so they aren’t touching.
You’ve got to stay close by the oven while baking. There’s some finesse to this! If your oven runs hot start checking at 6 minutes, 8 minutes is my magic number, I wouldn’t go more than 9 minutes. They can turn and burn quickly.
Once the sauce all dries up on the tray and the nuts turn a golden dark brown – THEY’RE DONE!
Pull them off the heat and cookie sheet to cool. Once they are cool to the touch you can sweep them off the paper into a air tight container. Use within a week, I seriously doubt they’ll be around that long.
