These homemade honey-roasted sweet and spicy nuts come with a kick of chilli. Serve them with warming winter cocktails or wrap as festive gifts.

Or, if you’re nuts about honey, try this recipe for honey and pine nut nougat – it’s also great as a gift (if you can stop yourself from eating it all…)

Method

  2. Remove from the oven, drizzle with honey, scatter over the chilli and season with sea salt flakes and black pepper. Toss to coat well, then return to the oven for 5-10 minutes until golden and roasted to your liking. Set aside to cool.

Quick wins & tips

We used nuts grown in the UK, but choose whatever type you fancy. If you’re making the nuts to give away, wrap in twists of compostable baking paper
tied with string.

Make Ahead

Once roasted and cooled, the nuts will keep in an airtight container for up to a week.
