Roasted Pecan Nuts [LOW FODMAP]

November 15, 2020 By Therese Leave a Comment

Roasted Pecan Nuts for Christmas!

Christmas is creeping up on us and so is my love for baking. There is a few certain things I need every year and roasted almonds is one of them. This year I’ve been going to a nutritionist and been told I need to go on a low fodmap diet for a short period. Almonds, turns out, is not low fodmap. This website is not going to be focused on low fodmap – and it’s still going to have Nordic cuisine as a core, but I will add [LOW FODMAP] on the title, as there is many people who will benefit from it – as this is something that many people struggle with. Perhaps without even knowing.

Anyway, this recipe for roasted pecan nuts brings me just as much joy as roasted almonds – and just as much Christmas spirit! I hope you will love this recipe as much as I do – I simply cannot stop myself from grabbing a few every now and then.

Goes well with a cup of Royal Hot Chocolate, or a warming cup of Mulled Pear Cider.

Roasted Pecan Nuts

400 g pecan nuts

1/2 dl water

150 g sugar

1 tbsp butter

  1. Preheat your oven to 180 degrees celcius.
  2. Roast your pecan nuts for 15 minutes! This will give them a wonderful flavor.
  3. Add water and sugar to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Let boil for about 2 minutes.
  4. Add the pecan nuts and reduce the heat to medium-low.
  5. Keep stirring until the sugar crystalizes and coat the nuts. They will look white at this point. Here is the patience test.
  6. Keep stirring on medium low heat until the sugar starts to melt again. This took me around 20 minutes.
  7. When the nuts are nice and shiny again, add the butter and stir that in.
  8. Transfer to a baking sheet and let cool.
  9. Store in an air tight container.

Nordic Cuisine

The best way to understand the Nordic region’s food culture is more than a trip to Ikea- it’s understanding our traditions, our nature and our people.

Nordic cuisine has never been extravagant, nor has it been fancy- it can best be described with the words of my favorite cafe in Oslo; “By serving a simple slice of waffle with strawberry jam and brown cheese with a cup of coffee on the side”. Nordic cuisine is known to be simple and with few ingredients- ingredients from the areas where we live and the lands surrounding us- like the woods, the sea, the mountains and the fjords. A blend between fresh, seasonal and preserved flavors- often put in jars and stored away in a dark pantry somewhere on a farm- only to be enjoyed and devoured throughout the seasons.

Food is one of the most important things we have in life- and we should all have enough knowledge about food to be able to live a long and happy life. It should not be a burden- nor should it be boring. Food should be something that makes you thrive to be able to live the life you want, it should bring people together in the most wonderful way and last but not least- it should be fun.
