Spiced nuts

I tried this recipe for the first time during our first month in Australia, when we were living in the city. I was a bit bored with just eating normal roasted and salted nuts so I wanted to make something different and I remembered that my mum once made her own roasted nuts which were really nice. I found a delicious recipe on taste.com.au.

Ingredients

1½ tbsp honey

2 tbsp olive oil

1 garlic clove

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

1 tbsp smoked paprika powder

1 tsp sea salt

500 g of mixed raw nuts

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and line a baking tray with baking paper.

Combine honey, olive oil, garlic, paprika powder, cayenne and salt in a small pot or frying pan on low heat. Stir until the honey has melted and the mixture is completely combined. 

Transfer the honey mixture to a large bowl. Add all the nuts and toss until they are evenly coated with the mixture. Spread the nuts on the baking tray. Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes, mixing around occasionally. Keep a close eye on them after 10 minutes so that they don't burn.
