Ingredients
- 2 tbsp honey, maple syrup or golden syrup
- 2 tbsp oil
- pinch of salt
- ½ tsp mixed dried herbs, or any other dried herbs
- few pinches chilli powder (to taste), or other dried spices, such as paprika
- 1 pint glass full of mixed nuts (such as almonds, hazelnuts and walnuts)
- 100g/3½oz pumpkin seeds
Method
Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4 and line a baking tray with baking paper.
Place all the ingredients on the prepared tray and mix well to combine. Roast for 15–25 minutes, stirring every 8–10 minutes until golden brown all over.
Remove from the oven and leave to cool before serving.
Recipe tips
The roasted nuts can be eaten as a snack or be chopped up and used in salads, or as a garnish for soups or stews.
Any selection of nuts and seeds will work, but watch for allergies! These nuts can be kept in an air-tight container for 4 days.
Chilli powder can be removed for children if too spicy.
A great recipe to get the children involved, using their hands to mix all the herbs and spices into the nuts. The adult takes charge of the oven.
