Gourmet Snack Ideas Using Avocado Oil and Sea Salt
Roasted Almonds
To make these addictive treats, start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of almonds, 1 tablespoon of avocado oil, and a pinch of sea salt. Spread the mixture on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for about 10-12 minutes or until the almonds are golden brown. Let them cool completely before serving.
Avocado Oil Popcorn
Pop your favorite kernels in a pot using coconut oil or any other suitable oil. Once popped, sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt and drizzle 1 tablespoon of avocado oil over the popcorn while it's still warm. This simple yet delicious snack is perfect for movie nights or at social gatherings.
Baked Sweet Potato Fries
Cut sweet potatoes into thin strips and bake them in the oven until crispy. In a bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of olive oil (or other suitable oil), 1 tablespoon of avocado oil, 1 teaspoon of dried herbs like thyme or rosemary, and a pinch of sea salt. Toss the baked sweet potato fries with this mixture while still warm to infuse them with the flavors.
Avocado Oil and Sea Salt Grilled Pineapple Rings
Slice your pineapple into rings and brush them lightly with avocado oil on both sides. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over each ring. Grill these slices until they're slightly charred, making for a delicious side dish or dessert topping.
Note: The use of avocado oil can vary based on personal preference and the specific recipe being used. Adjust the amount according to your taste preferences.
