Serving Size and Yield

Preparation and Cooking Time

Preparation Time: 10 minutes

Cooking Time: 20 minutes

Cooling Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

2 cups raw almonds
1 cup raw cashews
1 cup raw pecans
1/3 cup honey
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for a spicy kick)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine the almonds, cashews, and pecans in a large mixing bowl.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the honey, vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt, and cayenne pepper. Stir until well combined.
Pour the honey mixture over the nuts and toss until the nuts are evenly coated.
Spread the coated nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the nuts are golden brown and fragrant.
Remove from the oven and let the nuts cool on the baking sheet for about 15 minutes. They will become crisp as they cool.
Store the cooled nuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.

Additional Notes

Feel free to substitute your favorite nuts or add seeds like pumpkin or sunflower for extra variety. For a sweeter version, drizzle a bit more honey over the nuts before baking. If you prefer a spicier kick, increase the cayenne pepper to 1/2 teaspoon.
