Enjoying the Nuts
The roasted spiced walnuts make for a great movie time snack or an informal family party entertainment bite.
Walnuts are quite filling, and the red chili peppers will cut your craving a bit. Technically, you can't overeat.
We serve them up when guests come over, or we bring the spiced walnuts on one of our road trips as a snack.
Storing
You can keep your nuts in tin boxes lines with parchment paper.
If you need to carry them around, to work or to a picnic, fold a paper cone and place the coated spiced walnuts into the cone, which can then be closed on the opening side.
Very tasty !!.... and easy. BUT, how do I get the burnt residual honey out of my pan ??? 😫 What do you do ?? Thanks, and thank you for the recipe!
Poor recipe. No indication of how much of each item to measure out. I guess It's trial and error. Not worth the effort
Dear Selma, please look properly when you scroll through. The recipe, with US and Metric adjustable measurements, is clearly showing in the recipe card. It has a different background color to pop out.
She has the recipe clearly printed out with the mounts of it all ingredients
Helene, I am making these this evening for a mini road trip I have tomorrow!!
Great idea to take these roasted nuts on a road trip. I hadn't thought of that yet. Have a great road trip ahead! 🙂
