Roasted Walnuts

(Snack)

    Another companion to our almond snack is walnuts. It adds variety especially when we mix it with our salads. Walnuts get burnt quite easily, hence the lower temperature in roasting them.



Ingredients:
200g raw walnuts
    Steps:
  1. Put layer of aluminium foil on plate and spread walnuts evenly on it.
  2. Place plate in Healsio oven and use OVEN mode at 170°C for 17mins.
  3. You can store some in a container and keep the rest in the fridge for later use.

Croutons

(serves 2 with salad)

    What is a salad without croutons? Crispy bread cubes add a whole new dimension to salads. It is a good way of reusing stale bread too :)




Ingredients:
2 slices of wholemeal bread
1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
    Steps:
  1. Cut bread into cubes and place evenly on a plate.
  2. Drizzle oil over cubes and mix well using a spoon.
  3. Put plate in Healsio and use OVEN mode for 15 mins at 180°C
  4. Sprinkle croutons on salad just before serving. If you mix it with the salad, it will be soaked with the salad dressing and become soggy instead of staying crispy.
