Honey Roasted Nuts

Hello there! This snack is really addictive: delicious nuts with honey to nibble on, which are not only easy but also very quick to prepare.

Taste and Occasion

Honey roasted nuts to nibble on are the perfect snack for parties, TV nights, game nights, and birthday celebrations. Sure, celery and carrots would certainly be healthier. But guaranteed nowhere near as delicious as these homemade roasted nuts with honey 😉

Recipe Recommendation

Peanut butter and almond paste

With this simple basic recipe, you can turn nuts, seeds like cashew and macadamias or almonds into delicious creams in no time.

You can also buy salted, roasted honey nuts in the supermarket from many manufacturers. But as nearly always, the homemade alternative is just so much better. And making roasted nuts with honey yourself is a breeze. You only need 20-25 minutes, including the baking time. The result tastes just the way you want it to. Salted honey nuts are wonderfully variable: both in terms of nut types as well as in the choice of spices, you can feel free to be creative.

Ingredients

The base of my recipe are cashews, almonds, peanuts, walnuts, macadamias, sunflower seeds and Co. Best natural – not already roasted and salted. To refine, you need spice mixtures such as curry or Ras El Hanout, alternatively single spices like paprika and chili.

The savory snack is really special: The nuts are salty caramelized, so it's an exciting flavor combination of sea salt, sugar and honey. The caramelization also makes the consistency unique.

As already written, you have many refinement options for homemade roasted nuts with honey. I usually prepare two to three alternatives from the recipe. You prepare them all in the same way - for example mixed with honey, sugar, oil and salt. However, one part then becomes, for example, rosemary nuts, and one part becomes honey mustard nuts.

How to make the Honey Roasted Nuts

Let's get started with this easy and quick recipe. Preheat the oven to 340°F/170°C. Heat honey and sugar in a small saucepan and dissolve.

Now, place nuts and seeds in a large bowl. Add oil, sugar-honey mix, salt and spices; mix everything very well so that the nuts are completely coated. Then, spread nuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Roast for about 15 minutes, turning once or twice. They will crisp up nicely when cooled after baking. Enjoy your homemade snack!
