Sweet & Spicy Nuts


I have tried various versions of this recipe, and I think this might be the best so far... but beware, you won't be able to stop at just one or two. 

Feel free to use whatever nuts you like most, and play around with the ingredients - we like them very spicy, but you may prefer a little less.

These are the perfect accompaniment to a tall, very cold drink... or just on their own...





Ingredients:

500g raw almonds and cashews
1-2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup honey
1-2 tsp chilli powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 - 1 tsp salt

Method:

Preheat your oven to 200C (180C fan-forced)

In a frying pan over low heat, gently melt the ingredients together, stirring to get it smooth and lump-free. Add the nuts and stir to coat them evenly.

Place onto a lined baking tray and spread evenly. Roast for 10 - 15 minutes, keeping an eye on them all the time to prevent burning. We leave them in a little longer as we like the nuts crunchier, so make sure you keep checking them.

Allow to cool completely before separating and storing in an airtight container.
