Ingredients
Nuts – You can use any nuts that you prefer to serve. Select from cashews, almonds, walnuts, pistachios, etc. Pecans, hazelnuts, peanuts also work fine.
Honey – Honey is a great option to add some healthy sweetness to your nuts. It adds a sticky texture to the nuts, which makes them taste even more delicious.
Butter – Use unsalted butter to add some richness in these nuts.
Brown Sugar – To add some more sweetness, sprinkle some brown sugar on top at the end. Brown sugar also prevents the nuts from sticking to each other after baking.
Cayenne Pepper and Sea Salt – These two add that much needs spicy and salty flavor that complements the sweetness of honey and brown sugar well.
You can also sprinkle a little ground cinnamon. I love the flavor it adds and thus, I often add it to my honey-roasted mixed nuts.
How to make Honey Roasted Nuts?
Pre heat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
Melt butter and honey in a medium-size saucepan over low heat until butter is melted and is combined with honey. Keep stirring while melting.
Add the mixed nuts and cayenne pepper to the pan and coat the nuts with the butter and honey mixture evenly.
Transfer the nuts to the baking tray and spread them in a single layer using a silicone spatula. Keep the tray in the middle rack of the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the nuts are golden brown in colour. Stir them every 10 minutes so that they roast evenly from all the sides.
Remove the tray from oven and sprinkle brown sugar and sea salt over the nuts and toss using two spatulas.
Let the nuts cool down for 2-3 hours so that they are not sticky anymore. Transfer them in an airtight container and store at room temperature for 5-6 days.
Storage Suggestions
You can store these roasted nuts in an air-tight container for about 5 to 6 days at room temperature. They do tend to lose some crunch after 2 days, but they still taste delicious.
Serving Suggestions
You can serve these nuts as munchies with your drinks during parties and get together or just munch them while watching a movie. You can also add them to your fancy platters such as cheese platter etc.
Pack them in a smack box and snack on them in between the meals whenever the hunger strikes in your working hours or while traveling.
