Ingredients
It’s this easy
1. Preheat the oven to 160°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
2. Mix everything together in a large bowl until the nuts are evenly coated.
3. Spread the nuts in a single layer on the prepared tray.
4. Bake for 10–15 minutes, shaking the tray once or twice so the nuts toast evenly. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
5. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the tray.
6. Store in an airtight container once cool.
Tweaks
- Use less cayenne for mild nuts, or try chilli flakes or smoked paprika for a different kind of warmth.
- Swap the honey or maple syrup for a teaspoon of soy sauce and add a little garlic powder for a savoury mix.
- Sprinkle over a salad or roasted vegetables for extra crunch and flavour.
- To use an air-fryer: 7-8 mins at 160°C, shaking the basket once or twice so the nuts toast evenly. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
