Crispy Brazil Nuts

I've been on a nut frenzy lately :P  I've been trying all different kinds of nuts.  Right now we have crispy walnuts, almonds, pecans, cashews, brazil nuts, hazel nuts, pistachios, macadamia nuts and sunflower seeds in our house.  I love having a big variety to snack on and use in recipes.  And it's fun to try new kinds.  I figured I'd update my cirspy nut recipes with the ones I've made recently.  Same method as usual.
Crispy Brazil Nuts

4 cups raw brazil nuts
1 Tbsp. unrefined sea salt
filtered water

Soak nuts in salted water for at least 7 hours.  Drain.  Dry in dehydrator or oven set to 150 for 12 - 24 hours.  I found that the brazil nuts took longer than 24 hours because they are so big/thick.

  1. I've been thinking about trying some brazil nuts for a bit now... I've never had them. What are they similar to?

  2. Hmmm. Can't really say they are similar to anything. They are pretty mild nuts. Not a strong flavor. Not at the top of my list, but still good.
