Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (280g) raw mixed nuts (almonds, pecans, cashews, walnuts)
  • 1/4 cup (30g) crystallized ginger, finely diced
  • 1/3 cup (115ml) honey
  • 2 tbsp (30g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the honey and butter. Heat for 20 seconds until fluid, then whisk in the sea salt, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper until the mixture is a smooth, golden liquid.
  3. Place the raw mixed nuts and diced crystallized ginger into a large mixing bowl.
  4. Pour the honey glaze over the nuts and gently fold using a silicone spatula until every nut is glistening.
  5. Spread the nuts in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Roast for 7 minutes. Remove the tray from the oven and stir the nuts vigorously until no large clumps remain.
  7. Return the tray to the oven and roast for the remaining 8 minutes until the nuts smell fragrant and look mahogany brown.
  8. Take the tray out and immediately spread the nuts as far apart as possible on the parchment paper.
  9. Let them cool for 20 minutes until the glaze feels hard and dry to the touch.
