🍽 Ingredients

• 1 cup Brazil nuts
• 1 tablespoon Instant espresso powder or finely ground coffee beans
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil

📖 Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Make sure it's nice and toasty!
2. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of Brazil nuts with 1 tablespoon of instant espresso powder or finely ground coffee beans. I prefer freshly ground beans. Really let the aromas wake you up!
3. Add 1 teaspoon of olive oil to the nuts and coffee mixture. Gently toss everything together until the nuts are evenly coated. This is where a food processor can be handy if you're looking for a super fine coffee rub but it's not essential
4. Spread the nuts in a single layer on a baking sheet. Don't overcrowd them; otherwise they won't roast evenly. Trust me on this one, I've learned the hard way!
5. Roast the nuts for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning. You want them to be golden brown and fragrant, not charcoal!
6. Once roasted, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the nuts cool completely on a wire rack. This helps them crisp up nicely. While cooling, make some tea or coffee. You've earned it!
7. Once cool, store your delicious coffee-rubbed Brazil nuts in an airtight container. They're perfect as a snack, addition to salads, or even a crunchy topping for yogurt!

📝 Notes

• For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or cardamom.
• If using whole coffee beans, grind them finely before adding to the nuts.
• Don't over-roast the nuts! They should be golden brown, not burnt.
• Let the nuts cool completely before storing to maintain their crispiness
