Chipotle Honey Glazed Nuts
Ingredients:
– 1 cup mixed nuts (almonds, pecans, walnuts, etc.)
– 2 tablespoons honey
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon chipotle powder
– 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
– 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the mixed nuts, honey, olive oil, chipotle powder, sea salt, and ground cinnamon. Stir well to ensure all the nuts are coated evenly with the mixture.
3. Spread the coated nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Bake the nuts in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through the baking time. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning, as oven temperatures may vary.
5. Once the nuts are golden brown and fragrant, remove them from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet.
6. Once cool, break apart any nuts that may have stuck together during baking.
7. Transfer the Chipotle Honey Glazed Nuts to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to two weeks, although they are so delicious, they likely won’t last that long!
