Roasted Mealworms
Roasted mealworms smell like roasted peanuts and are crispy like nuts. In fact, baked mealworms are a great substitute for nuts.
1 cup lively mealworms (obtain at the local pet store or biology lab)
1 cookie sheet
1 freezer
1 oven (preheated about 350 degrees F)
1 blender or sharp knife
Freeze the little critters. Spread them on a cookie sheet. Cool. Chop coarsely (as you would for nuts). I like to chop very coarsely so that people can still see the mealworm parts.
