Fig and Honey Glazed Nuts

Ingredients

Salt

1/2 teaspoon

Cinnamon

1 teaspoon

Honey

1/3 cup

Dried figs

1 cup, chopped

Mixed nuts

2 cups

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mixed nuts and chopped dried figs. Toss until well mixed.
3. In a small saucepan, gently heat the honey until it becomes slightly runny. This should take about 1-2 minutes over low heat. Be careful not to let it boil or it will become too thick.
4. Pour the warm honey over the nut and fig mixture. Add the cinnamon and salt. Mix well until every piece is evenly coated.
5. Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure the nuts and figs are spread out evenly and not too clustered to ensure even roasting.
6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the nuts are golden brown and emit a fragrant, toasted aroma. Be sure to stir the mixture halfway through baking to ensure even roasting and prevent burning.
7. Remove from the oven and let cool completely. The glaze will harden as it cools, creating a delightful crunch.
8. Once cooled, break apart any large clusters into bite-sized pieces and store in an airtight container. Enjoy as a standalone snack, or use as a delicious and nutritious topping for salads and desserts.
