What Ingredients do you need to make these spicy nuts
- Almonds
- Cashews
- Maple syrup
- Sea salt
Almonds
Almonds are an excellent source of healthy fats, particularly monounsaturated fats. They are also rich in vitamin E as well as a good source of fibre and protein.
Cashews
Cashews are a great source of copper as well as magnesium. If they aren’t your favourite, they can be swapped for another nut or seed.
Maple Syrup
A natural sweetener, maple syrup adds just the right amount of sweetness to these nuts. It’s a source of antioxidants and contains small amounts of essential minerals like manganese, zinc, and iron.
Sea salt
I use a natural sea salt rather than table salt. Most sea salts are minimally processed and retain trace minerals.
Storage and Shelf Life
Once they have cooled completely, transfer them to a jar. They will last for a couple of weeks in a sealed jar.
Keep them in a cool place, out of direct sunlight.
Recipe Tips
Adjust the nuts: If you prefer to use other nuts, that’s fine, just keep the quantities similar.
Keep an eye them in the oven: Check them halfway through. They can burn easily, and every oven is different.
Experiment with spices: Try adding in a little bit of ground cinnamon or ginger for a bit of a kick.
Line the baking tray: Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent them sticking. The maple will really make the nuts sticky so it’s much easier to have a parchment paper lining.
Cool completely: Let the nuts cool completely before transferring them to a jar.
