Spice Rub Honey Roasted Snack Mix
Use a hefty amount of almonds to get the biggest healthy impact - lots of nutrients and protein in our version.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Mixed nuts, unsalted Low salt snack mixes also work well. We used almonds, cashews, pecans, Rice Chex, and gluten free pretzels
- 3 tablespoons honey Maple syrup also works
- 1 tablespoons unsalted butter Coconut oil can be substituted
- 2 tablespoons Serious Foodie West African spice blend Any of the Serious Foodie spice blends work, or come up with your own mixture
- 1 egg Separated We're only using the whites for this recipe
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt More or less to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300 deg F, and line a roasting tray with parchment
- Place the honey and butter (or coconut oil) in a pan and heat gently until combined. Add one tablespoon of spice rub, and stir in the nuts/snack mixture.
- Spread the mixture on the parchment lined roasting tray, and roast for about 20 minutes, giving the mixture a stir at 10 minutes. Keep an eye on the mixture - it should be brown, not burnt.
- Leave the mixture cool for 2 minutes, then place in a bowl. Whip up the egg white until frothy. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon spice rub, whipped egg white, and optional salt to the cooled nuts, then stir until everything is well coated.
- Return the mixture to the roasting tray, spread out in a single layer, and place back in the oven for 10 minutes.
- Spread out the mixture in a single layer, and leave to cool completely before storing.
