Sometimes plain ole nuts can get a bit boring, so I needed to kick them up a bit! So this mix is toss in cayenne, cinnamon, garlic, honey, salt & pepper!! Super delicious and nutritious, definitely not boring!!
Kicked up Nut Mix!
Ingredients:
- 1 C Walnuts
- 1 C Cashews
- 1/2 C Almonds
- 1/4 C Pumpkin Seeds
- 1/4 tsp Cayenne Powder
- 2/3 tsp Sea Salt
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tbsp Raw Honey
- 1 tbsp Avocado Oil
Directions:
Preheat oven 350. Put all nuts and seeds into mixing bowl. Add honey, oil, seasonings and mix. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper then pour the nut mix on the paper. Spread out evenly. Bake for 10 minutes, BE SURE TO CHECK after 5 minutes. Nuts can burn very quickly so keep a close eye on those nuts! you will know they are done when they have a toasted look. Take out and let cool. Then place in a air tight container. Try to use within a week for optimal freshness.
A tip on what nuts to by. I always try to buy raw, not roasted or seasoned. The fresher the nut the better!!
