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 😉
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!
Top Tip
So that guaranteed nothing goes wrong, I'll give you a few tips for the preparation:
Which nuts are suitable for this recipe?
Actually, any kind you like - from walnuts to cashews to peanuts. Note: Hazelnuts, for example, have a pretty strong taste of their own.
Do the nuts need to be pre-roasted?
No. You can bake them in the oven for 5 minutes, coat them with the spice-sugar-salt mix and roast them again for about 10 minutes. But you can skip the first step. Once baked and completely cooled, the nuts are wonderfully crunchy.
Can I also use already salted, roasted nuts?
Yes, but be sure to omit the salt from the recipe and keep a close eye on the baking time.
Can honey-salted nuts be prepared vegan?
The nibbles are vegan if you use agave syrup or rice syrup instead of honey.
Are roasted nuts healthy?
That's something everyone has to decide individually. Healthier than store-bought (and chips etc.) in any case. Despite the sweetener, the roasted nuts are low carb; you can also reduce the amount of honey.
