Smoky Honey Roasted Nuts

Ingredients

• 500 g mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, pecans, macadamias and peanuts)
• 3 tbsp honey
• 2 tbsp butter, melted
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp BlixSam Smoke Craft
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon
• ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of sea salt (optional)

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 170°C.
2. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the honey, melted butter, brown sugar, vanilla, BlixSam Smoke Craft, cinnamon and cayenne (if using).
4. Add the mixed nuts and toss until every nut is evenly coated.
5. Spread the nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking tray.
6. Bake for 15–20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until golden and fragrant.
7. Allow the nuts to cool completely—they’ll become crisp as they cool.
8. Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
