Ingredients

2 tbsp olive oil
500g mixed nuts (eg: brazils, almonds, cashews, pistachios, walnuts
1 1/2 tsp ground mixed spice
1 tsp chilli powder
1 tsp sea solt
3 tbsp soft brown sugar

Handy Hint

Quick present for the festive season & great with pre dinner drinks

Method

1. Lightly oil a baking tray (or line with non-stick baking paper).
2. Heat a pan & add oil & nuts. Toss around until nuts have become golden.
3. Stir in the mixed spice, chilli powder & salt. Toss for about 30 seconds & then sprinkle over the sugar. Turn around in the pan until the sugar begins to caramelise & coat the nuts.
4. Tip out onto the prepared baking tray & leave to cool.
5. When cold, break up the nuts that are stuck together & keep in jar or airtight container until needed.
