Ingredients
Nut Ingredients
- 1.5 cups mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, pecans, walnuts, peanuts) Choose your favorite nuts.
- 2 tablespoons honey You can reduce this amount for less sweetness.
- 1 tablespoon melted butter or neutral oil Use butter for richer flavor.
- 1/4 teaspoon salt Add more if using unsalted nuts.
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon Optional, but highly recommended.
- a pinch cayenne or smoked paprika For a bit of spice.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (around 163°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Warm the honey and melted butter together for a few seconds to make it easier to stir.
- In a bowl, toss the nuts with the honey mixture, salt, and any spices until everything is lightly coated.
- Spread the nuts out in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan.
Cooking
- Bake in the oven for 10 minutes, then stir the nuts and bake for an additional 5 to 8 minutes until golden.
- Let the nut mix cool completely; it will become crunchier as it cools.
Notes
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 7 to 10 days. Nuts can also be frozen to maintain freshness. Be cautious while baking; honey can burn quickly.
