Ingredients
Additional Notes

Instructions
Preheat oven to 300 degrees and cover a large baking dish with parchment paper.
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat until melted, then add onion and garlic. Cook 2-3 minutes until the onions begin to soften.
In a small bowl, mix the spices and add them to the onions, stir to combine, and cook an additional 5-7 minutes until the onions are very soft. Add the lemon juice and cook until the mixture forms a paste, about 2 minutes. Add the coconut flakes to the pan and stir until they're coated with the onions and spices.
Transfer to a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes. Stir with a wooden spoon and add the nuts to the baking sheet. Roast an additional 10-15 minutes until the coconut/onion flakes are very brown, and the nuts are toasted.
Allow to cool completely, then pulse in a food processor until it resembles coarse granola. Store in an airtight container at room temperature and use as a flavoring condiment on cooked foods. (Recipe #552)
