Our NEW favorite crumb coating done in 4 ways

Hello Friends,

As promised my us earlier in the week we said we would share our new ‘secret’ topping; well to us it is a secret   Michelle and I have been enjoying our new favorite topping all week long in many different ways!!

First was the sweet potato fries

What we did:

• 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into strips
• secret topping
• coconut oil

Toss sweet potato fries in large bowl with topping and a little oil

Place fries on skillet and cook on each side till soft

Second was parsnip fries

What we did:

• 3 parsnips, skinned and cut into strips
• coconut oil
• our secret topping

Toss roasted parsnip fries in secret topping!

Third squash hash browns

What you need:

• 1 sweet dumpling squash, peeled and trim
• 2 tbsp chia seeds
• coconut oil
• secret topping

We used a ‘cheese’ grater to grate our squash

We grated about 2 cups worth of the squash. Toss in bowl with chia seeds and topping.

Form into patties and place on oil skillet over medium heat.

Sautee on one side till golden brown and flip

Yummy and crispy! Yes just chia seeds holding it together.

Fourth ‘raw’ bacon (as we like to call it) with sprouted quinoa

We placed one beet (peeled) slightly chopped into food processor along with our secret topping and some salt. Pulsed till small tiny pieces.

Served our ‘bacon’ with some sprouted cooked quinoa with steamed patty squash.

This was our dinner last night! A_M_A_Z_I_N_G

So colorful, flavorful, and wonderful!

As you can see we are obsessed with our new secret topping. It may not really be a secret we just like calling it that!

Time for our All-Time-Favorite-‘Secret’ -Coating

Pure2raw Recipe: Twin’s Nut-n-Bit Coating

• 2 tbsp raw cacao nibs
• 2 tbsp hemp seeds
• optional: pinch salt
• Additional flavorings (above picture we added in fresh parsley)

You can either just stir all ingredients together or pulse a little in a small food processor.

Michelle and I fell in love with the bitter chocolate flavor from the nibs with the hemp seeds nutty flavor. YUM! Or maybe it is just because we love cacao nibs on just about anything We feel this is a great substitute for gluten free ‘breadcrumbs’ in our opinion! Please note: regular chocolate chips will not work because raw cacao nibs are not sweet, more bitter tasting; which works great sweet and savory foods!

We have a few more ways we plan on using this crunch coating, we will share them once we make them!

Do you like our name of the coating? Or do you have a better suggestion?
