Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, walnuts, peanuts)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
Instructions
1. Gather all the ingredients and premeasure the spices for easy cooking.
2. Heat a large, non-stick skillet or wok over medium heat.
3. Add the olive oil to the skillet and swirl to coat the surface.
4. Once the oil is hot, add the mixed nuts and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the nuts are lightly toasted and fragrant.
5. In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, honey, garlic powder, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).
6. Reduce the heat to low and pour the mixture over the toasted nuts. Stir quickly to evenly coat all the nuts with the sauce.
7. Continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to caramelize slightly and stick to the nuts.
8. Remove the skillet from heat, sprinkle with sea salt, and toss gently.
9. Transfer the stir-fried nuts to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
10. Let cool slightly before serving, or store in an airtight container for later enjoyment.
