Method

Heat the oven to 160°C/140°C fan/gas 3. Tip the nuts onto a large baking tray, ideally in a single layer, then roast for 20 minutes or until lightly golden and toasted.
Meanwhile, mix the oil, honey, salt, cayenne and chilli in a bowl.
Add the seeds to the nut tray, then pour the oil mixture all over it. Stir everything to coat, then roast for another 8-10 minutes until sticky and a deep golden.

As soon as they’re out of the oven, sprinkle with a little more smoked salt. Set aside to cool, stirring every 5 minutes or so to start with so they clump evenly.
Once cooled, decant into jars, seal and add gift tags.

I don’t think I’ve seen smoked salt before, would it work subbing out for something like smoked paprika? I think my dad would love these! <3

Thanks for your feedback. Our food team advises that Cornish Sea Salt make a great smoked salt but the seasonings on this recipe are completely flexible depending on your taste or what you have to hand. Smoked paprika and regular salt would work well as an alternative.
