Sweet and spicy nuts & almonds
Sweet and spicy nuts & almonds
Makes 2 jars
200g your favourite nuts or/and almonds (I used 100g of walnut halves and 100g whole almonds) about 30g salted butter, melted
1 tbsp sunflower oil
? tsp cayenne
? tsp ground cumin
? tsp smoked paprika
? tsp ground cinnamon
1 level tsp mixed spice
2 tbsp runny honey
2 tsp sesame seeds
Heat the oven to 150C and line a large baking tray with some baking paper.
In a bowl mix the butter, oil, 1 tbsp of honey and all spices and then add the nuts and almonds. Mix well so they all covered nicely with the spiced butter. Next place them on the baking tray, evenly, making sure there are in one layer and possibly do not touch each other.
Place into the oven and roast for about 10 minutes. Next drizzle with the remaining honey and roast for about 5 minutes, sprinkle with sesame seeds and roast for further 5 minutes. Make sure you check the nuts and almonds because the honey is likely to burn and get bitter. Therefore you have to amend the time of roasting accordingly.
Remove from the oven and leave it to cool down completely.
Place in the clean jars and seal tightly. These should keep up to one month.
