Prep Time: 10 Minutes

Cook Time: 10-13 Minutes

Serving size: 16

Ingredients:

1 cup dry roasted almonds (lightly salted) – Ayoub’s Dried Fruits & Nuts

1 cup dry roasted cashews (lightly salted) – Ayoub’s Dried Fruits & Nuts

1 TBSP (single varietal) early harvest extra virgin olive oil – All of Oils

1 ½ TBSP chilli pepper-infused honey – Bee Kind Honey Infusions

2 TSBP sugar

½ - 1 ¼ TSP organic cayenne pepper – Avafina Organics

½ - 1 TSP Himalayan pink salt – Avafina Organics

Directions:

STEP 1

Preheat oven to 350 F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

STEP 2

In a medium-sized bowl, combine nuts with oil and honey. Mix well to ensure the nuts are evenly coated.

STEP 3

Place nuts on the baking sheet (spread evenly) and roast for 10-13 minutes until golden brown. Halfway through baking, remove the sheet from the oven, stir and spread nuts, and then place back in the oven to continue roasting.

STEP 4

Meanwhile, mix the sugar, cayenne pepper and salt. Make sure it’s combined well and set it aside.

STEP 5

Now remove the nuts from the oven and transfer them to the other clean parchment-covered baking sheet, leaving any pooled honey/oil on the pan. Immediately sprinkle the nuts with sugar/cayenne mixture, tossing with two spoons until the nuts are covered evenly with the mixture.

STEP 6

Spread the nuts so that they are evenly distributed on the new pan, then let cool completely. When the nuts have cooled, you can store them in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
