If you host a party, you need to serve food and drinks. Whether or not you plan on serving a formal meal, you should also offer your guests snacks. Nuts are a popular snack to serve before and even after a meal. Of course, when serving these snacks, you may end up with leftover nuts. Before you hastily throw them away, you should try out this delicious recipe.

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups of leftover nuts
  • half a cup of mixed seeds
  • Honey for drizzling
  • Sea salt flakes
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • Herbs and spices of your choice (some good choices include cumin seeds, pepper, rosemary and paprika). Use about 1 or 2 teaspoons of each.

Directions:

  • Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
  • Next, pour your leftover nuts and seeds into a large bowl.
  • Drizzle honey and olive oil over them.
  • Mix all of the dry herbs and spices together.
  • Sprinkle the mixed herbs and spices over the nuts and seeds.
  • Mix everything very well so that the coating is evenly spread over all your nuts and seeds.
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper and spread your nuts and seeds out on the tray.
  • Place the tray in the middle rack in your oven and back for about 10 minutes.
  • You should stir them up regularly so that they roast evenly.
  • Once browned, remove the tray from the oven and set aside to cool.
  • You can store these delicious nuts (once cooled) in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

If you love the way these leftover nuts turn out, you may like to make larger quantities and serve them to your guests at your next event! They may even like them more than regular nuts!
