Sweet & Smoky Roasted Nuts

Who else absolutely loves the combination of rosemary and smoked paprika? Combine these wonderful culinary herbs with nuts and roast them to make a wonderful snack or some special nibbles to share with friends over evening drinks.

Roasting your own nuts is such a cinch and you can really enjoy adding herbs and spices to bring their taste alive. These sweet and smoky nuts are a delicious nibble to eat all year round.

One idea is to make a batch and decant the roasted nuts into jars for a lovely homemade present. They are naturally plant-based, gluten and dairy free.

Sweet and Smoky Roasted Nuts

• 500 g Mixed Nuts
• 1 tbsp Maple Syrup
• 1 tbsp Olive Oil
• 3 tsp Paprika ((smoked))
• 3 tsp Rosemary ((dried))
• 3 tsp Sea Salt

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan), and line a large baking tray.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients, and stir well until all of the nuts are evenly coated.
3. Pour the nuts onto the prepared tray, spreading them out well. Roast for 15 minutes, until golden brown. Be careful to check the nuts regularly (every 5 minutes) and shake them a little, as the nuts can catch and burn quite easily.
4. Set aside to cool.
5. If these are being given as presents, decant into jars and tie with ribbon. This recipe will fill 4 x 350ml jars.

• Decant into jars and store in a cupboard for up to 3 months.
• Avoid giving whole roasted nuts to young children due to the choking risk.
