Title: Quick Snack
Ingredients:
– 1 cup of mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, and cashews)
– 1 tablespoon of honey
– 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
– 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the mixed nuts, honey, cinnamon, and sea salt. Toss everything together until the nuts are well coated with the sweet and savory mixture.
3. Spread the nut mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are in a single layer. This will allow them to toast evenly and become beautifully crunchy.
4. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the nuts are golden and fragrant. Be sure to give them a gentle stir halfway through the baking time to ensure even toasting.
5. Once the nuts are done, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. The nuts will continue to crisp up as they cool down.
6. Transfer the warm nuts to a bowl or airtight container, and allow them to cool completely before enjoying. These tasty treats can be stored for up to a week in an airtight container, but we doubt they’ll last that long!
