Ingredients

100g skin-on almonds
100g skin-on hazelnuts
100g skin-on brazil nuts
100g macadamia nuts
100g cashew nuts
5 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp runny honey
2 tsp smoked salt flakes, plus extra to sprinkle
1-2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp chilli flakes
60g pumpkin seeds
40g sunflower seeds

Method

Heat the oven to 160°C/140°C fan/gas 3. Tip the nuts onto a large baking tray, ideally in a single layer, then roast for 20 minutes or until lightly golden and toasted.
Meanwhile, mix the oil, honey, salt, cayenne and chilli in a bowl.
Add the seeds to the nut tray, then pour the oil mixture all over it. Stir everything to coat, then roast for another 8-10 minutes until sticky and a deep golden.
As soon as they’re out of the oven, sprinkle with a little more smoked salt. Set aside to cool, stirring every 5 minutes or so to start with so they clump evenly.
Once cooled, decant into jars, seal and add gift tags.
