Ingredients
- 2 cups Makhana (Fox Nuts)
- 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder

- 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground Cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Himalayan Pink Salt

Step 1
Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the extra virgin olive oil to the skillet and allow it to warm for about 1 minute.
Step 3
Add the makhana to the skillet, ensure that they are spread out evenly in a single layer. Roast them over medium heat, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Step 4
Continue to roast the makhana for about 6-8 minutes until they become crispy and lightly golden. To check for doneness, press a makhana between your fingers; it should break easily.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, turmeric powder, ground cumin, Himalayan pink salt, and black pepper.
Step 6
Once the makhana are roasted, reduce the heat to low and sprinkle the spice mixture over them.
Step 7
Stir well to ensure even coating of the spices on all the makhana. Continue to cook for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly to avoid burning the spices.
Step 8
Remove from heat and let the roasted makhana cool slightly before serving.
Step 9
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to one week. Enjoy your crunchy and flavorful Whole30 Roasted Makhana as a snack or an appetizer!
