Last minute gift giving can be stressful, to say the least - but it doesn't have to be.
Making a batch of these spiced nuts is incredibly easy as you probably have most, if not all of these ingredients on hand.
A hint of spice that is not overwhelming and an incredibly tasty combination from cumin and coconut sugar*.
Put in a cellophane baggie, wrap with a ribbon and have them on hand for those oops-I-forgot! gift-giving moments.
Ingredients
makes 10 cups or 7 small gift bags
serving size; 1/4 cup
10 cups nuts (I like pecans, walnuts, cashews and pistachios)
1/2 c coconut oil, melted
2 tblsp ground cumin
1 tsp cayenne
1/4 c coconut sugar*
3 teaspoons sea salt
Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
- In a large bowl, dump all your nuts.
- Mix together cumin and cayenne into your melted coconut oil and mix until thoroughly combined.
- Pour oil mixture over nuts and stir gently, until combined.
- Sprinkle sugar and sea salt over nuts, stirring gently until evenly coated.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- Allow to cool completely and store at room temperature.
*You can substitute regular sugar for the coconut sugar if you cannot find it, or even reduce or omit the sugar entirely!
