Deliciously smoky spiced nuts

I made spiced nuts as a welcome nibble for my first vegan supper club in early 2019.

Although I ate my way through several jars of test batches I still couldn’t stop eating them - spicy nuts are so good and so moreish.

That batch had more of an Indian flavour to it.

These ones are smokier. I find them utterly irresistible. 

How difficult are spiced nuts to make?

They really couldn’t be easier. It’s just a case of mixing the nuts with a little oil, some spices and some salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. 

Once mixed the nuts are spread out onto a baking tray and cooked on a low heat.

What ingredients do you need to make spicy smoked nuts?

• 50g hazelnuts
• 50g walnut halves or pieces
• 75g cashews
• 1.5 tbsp sunflower or vegetable oil
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp ground cumin 
• ½ tsp black pepper 
• 1 tsp sea salt

You can use other varieties of nuts or try adding pumpkin or sunflower seeds to the mix too.

Do you need any special equipment to make these nuts?

No - all you need is a bowl, some baking paper and a baking tray.
