Sweet and Spicy Nuts

Sweet and Spicy Nuts are a delicious blend of almonds and cashews coated in a mixture of honey, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and olive oil. Baked to perfection, these nuts offer a balance of sweetness with a hint of heat, making them an addictive snack or a crunchy topping for various dishes.

For a Serving Size of Two:

Ingredients:

• 60 grams mixed nuts (almonds, cashews)
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Procedure:

• Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
• In a bowl, combine olive oil, honey, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and salt. Mix well.
  Add the mixed nuts to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
• Spread the nuts in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are golden and fragrant.
• Remove from the oven and let the nuts cool completely before serving. They will become crispier as they cool. Enjoy as a snack or use as a topping for salads and yogurt.
