You will need

- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast flakes
- 50 grams almonds, blanched

Recipe: Simon Toohey
Directions
-
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 160°C.
-
Step 2
In a bowl, add in the seeds and nuts along with sugar, chilli, nutritional yeast flakes and tamari, and mix well.
-
Step 3
On a lined baking tray, pour out the mixture and roast in the oven for 20 minutes.
-
Step 4
Cutting the stem from the iceberg lettuce, remove the leaves and place them in a nest in your serving bowl.
-
Step 5
Squeeze the juice of the lemon over the lettuce, along with olive oil, salt and pepper.
-
Step 6
Break apart the spiced nut mixture which may have set in a slab in the oven, and sprinkle over your lettuce bowl to serve — you may choose to intentionally fill each lettuce leaf with nuts to create little lettuce ‘cups’ of nut mixture which can be eaten like tacos!
