Sweet Sichuan Nuts
This is the perfect snack. Mixed crunchy nuts and sweets that are slightly sweet and slightly spicy from the sichuan pepper that leaves an addictive tingle.
Ingredients
3/4 cup raw cashews
3/4 cup raw almonds
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
2 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon sichuan pepper, ground
Instructions
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Put the sugar, oil, salt and sichuan in a small sauce pan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Add the nuts and seeds and cook for a few minutes stirring constantly. When the nuts are coated transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet and spread into a single layer.
