Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1 cup raw pistachios
- 3 tablespoons Cecchi honey
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the raw almonds and pistachios.
In a small saucepan over low heat, mix Cecchi honey, olive oil, cayenne pepper, ground cinnamon, salt, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and just warmed through, about 2-3 minutes.
Pour the honey mixture over the nuts in the mixing bowl. Stir well to ensure all nuts are evenly coated with the glaze.
Spread the glazed nuts in a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
If using sesame seeds, sprinkle them generously over the nuts before toasting.
Toast the nuts in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the nuts to cool completely on the sheet. The glaze will harden as it cools.
Once cooled, transfer the nuts to an airtight container or serve immediately as a snack or topping.
