Delicious and Healthy
Heart Health: Nuts are rich in healthy fats, particularly omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which are known to support heart health.
Antioxidants: Many nuts, especially almonds and walnuts, contain antioxidants which can help reduce inflammation and oxidative stress.
Protein Source: Nuts provide a good amount of protein, making them a great snack for muscle repair and nourishment.
Dietary Fibre: The fibre content aids in digestion and promotes a feeling of fullness, which can help with weight management.
Pumpkin spiced nuts provide a satisfying crunch, rich flavour, and a healthy snack option for those looking to add a nutritious twist to their meals or snacks. Enjoy them as an afternoon pick-me-up or in your favourite trail mix!
Pumpkin Spiced Nuts
Ingredients:
1 cup of mixed nuts (pecans, cashews, walnuts)
2 tbsp maple syrup
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
flaky salt
Directions:
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F. This will ensure that your nuts roast perfectly.
Mix the Ingredients: Directly on the baking sheet lined with a silpat mat or parchment paper, combine the raw mixed nuts, 2 tbsp maple syrup, 1/2 tsp pumpkin spice blend, and sea salt. Stir until the nuts are well-coated.
Spread the spiced nuts in a single layer for even roasting.
Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 15-20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to avoid burning. The nuts should turn golden brown and fill your kitchen with delightful aromas.
Cool & Enjoy: Once roasted, let the nuts cool down completely. They will become crunchier as they cool. Store them in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
These pumpkin spiced nuts are a perfect snack at home or on-the-go, providing a quick energy boost while satisfying those autumn cravings. Enjoy the warmth of the season with every crunchy bite! 🧡
