]]> We’ve been trying.  We’ve stopped buying cereal, buy corn chips instead of regular potato chips and got rid of the candy jar, but it’s still hard to make healthy choices sometimes.  I find myself craving something sweet, salty and crunchy fairly often.  Yes, I’ve given in.  Have you ever heard of a junk food run?

How to make honey roasted nuts at home

I’ve always known nuts were a healthy snack, so I loaded up a few bags at the bulk food store to try and curb my cravings.  While I do love nuts, the plain ones just don’t satisfy.  So, I did a little experiment with the sweetener in my Homemade Granola, and it worked!  I’ve made the best homemade honey roasted nuts ever!

I’m hoping that my daughter will make these enough times with me that when she gets a little older she can make them all by herself.  It is just so easy and it costs a lot less than buying them at the store.

For my honey roasted nuts, I used a mixture of raw almonds, raw cashews, and unsalted roasted peanuts.

My sweetener was butter, honey, and brown sugar.  I made a double batch this time because the first time I made them there just wasn’t enough!

Recipe type: Snack
Cuisine: American
Ingredients
  • 3 cups of nuts
  • 2 tbs butter or oil
  • 3 tbs sweetener of your choice
  • ½ tsp Kosher salt to taste
  • ½ tsp Sugar to taste
Instructions
  1. Prepare a baking pan with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 325.
  2. If using butter, melt it in a separate bowl or measuring cup and mix in your sweetener.
  3. Place your nuts in a bowl and pour sweetener mixture on top, mixing thoroughly.
  4. Spread them on the prepared baking pan and bake for 10 minutes. Remove them from the oven, stir, and bake them for 10 minutes more or until golden.
  5. Remove and immediately pour them into a bowl and stir or they will stick together in chunks. Toss them with salt and sugar to taste and allow them to cool completely before storing them in an air-tight container.

 

You can also try adding spices to the nuts before baking them.  Cayenne or cinnamon would be nice.

Next time, I might try using coconut oil.  If you end up doing it before me, leave a comment and let me know how they turned out.
