Maple Chili Roasted Mixed Nuts
Serves 6
Forget packaged snack mixes. These roasted cashews, almonds, peanuts, and pecans are tossed in a maple-chili glaze until caramelized, spicy, and crunchy. They hit the sweet-savoury spot while delivering protein and healthy fats that stabilize blood sugar between meals.

Ingredients
- 2 cups (500 mL) mixed nuts (cashews, almonds, peanuts, pecans)
- 2 Tbsp (30 mL) maple syrup
- 1 Tbsp (15 mL) extra-virgin olive oil
- Red pepper flakes, to taste (optional)
- 1/2 tsp (2 mL) smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp (2 mL) sea salt
Directions
01
Preheat oven to 325 F (160 C) and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
02
In large bowl, toss nuts with maple syrup; olive oil; red pepper flakes to taste, if using; paprika; and salt until evenly coated. Spread nuts on lined baking sheet in single layer. Roast in pre-heated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through so they cook evenly.
03
Let cool completely before serving or storing, as they will crisp up as they cool. Store in airtight container for up to 1 week.
