Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups of mixed raw nuts (almonds, cashews, pecans)
- 2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon of smoked paprika (for smoky flavor)
- ¼ teaspoon of cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
- 1 tablespoon of coconut oil or butter
- Pinch of salt
- Edible gold dust or shimmer spray (optional for a magical look)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss the raw nuts with melted coconut oil or butter until evenly coated.
- Add honey or maple syrup, stirring gently. Sprinkle cinnamon, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper if using, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to coat all nuts evenly with the spice blend.
- Spread the coated nuts on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 10-15 minutes, stirring halfway through. Keep an eye to prevent burning. Once roasted, allow the nuts to cool completely.
- Optionally, lightly spray with shimmer spray or sprinkle with edible gold dust for a magical sparkle.
Notes
- Ensure to stir the nuts halfway through roasting to achieve even crispiness.
- Use a mixture of different nuts for varied texture and flavor.
- For an extra magical look, add edible glitter or edible gold dust after cooling.
