Notes

A note about garlic powder:

  • For even distribution, I recommend using actual garlic powder over granulated garlic for this recipe unless you're going to powder the seasonings in a spice grinder or mortar & pestle.

Type of salt:

  • I use Morton's popcorn salt for even distribution.

To make a small batch (great for testing):

  • 2 oz blanched almond flour
  • 1/4 tsp extra fine grain salt
  • 1/8 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 + 1/8 tsp apple cider vinegar powder (slightly heaping 1/2 tsp)
  • 2 tsp nutritional yeast

Apple cider vinegar liquid option (full batch):

  • Use about 1 7/8 tsp apple cider vinegar instead of the 2 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar powder.
  • Spread the vinegar evenly in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
  • Add almond flour and rub it around until evenly coated.
  • Proceed with remaining dry ingredients as written.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz blanched almond flour
  • 1 tsp extra fine grain salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar powder (see note for substituting liquid)
  • 2 tbsp + 2 tsp nutritional yeast

Instructions

  1. Add almond flour to a mixing bowl and break up clumps using a flat-bottomed glass.
  2. Combine salt, garlic powder, apple cider vinegar powder, and nutritional yeast in a small bowl or spice grinder.
  3. Alternatively, crush dry seasonings together thoroughly by hand or with a mortar & pestle.
  4. Add seasoning mix to almond flour.
  5. Mix thoroughly by hand until evenly combined, rubbing the seasonings into the almond flour.
  6. Store refrigerated, lasts several weeks.
