How To Make honey spiced nut mix
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 350-deg. F. Line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside. In a large bowl, combine sugar and salt and set aside.
-
Step 2Combine honey, black pepper, cumin, coriander, paprika and cayenne in a bowl and mix well. Add mixed nuts and stir to thoroughly coat. Spread nut mixture evenly in a single layer on prepared sheet pan and bake until toasted and fragrant, about 10 to 11 minutes.
-
Step 3Remove from oven and let cool until barely warm, then transfer to sugar mixture and toss to evenly coat. Return to sheet pan and cool completely. Transfer to airtight container or divide nuts into two portions and package for gift giving. Nuts will keep 5 days at room temperature, tightly sealed but will likely be gone long before that.
