Smoky Sweet Spiced Almonds

I was first introduced to these terrific snacking spiced nuts when my work colleague, Elizabeth. She brought them to share at an office get together.

I loved them immediately and from chatting with her discovered it was a very adaptable recipe, that can use other nuts. A combination of nuts would work too, and whatever spice combinations you think would work.

Roasted hazelnuts, almonds, macadamia nuts, walnuts and pecans. Any or all of these could be used in this recipe.

With the holiday season right around the corner, here’s the perfect pre-dinner nibble for Thanksgiving.  Or to serve with drinks any time. These are fantastic when served warm from the oven.

They are a little sweet, a little salty, a little smokey from the spices chosen and with just a touch of spicy heat. You may find yourself making these all year round.
