Turmeric & Honey Roasted Nuts

Time: 2 minutes in the Thermomix; 15 minutes baking

Yield: 2 cups of roasted nuts

The smell of roasting nuts always brings back the memory of walking around the Queen Victoria Market in Melbourne, where there are little carts dotted around that sell delicious freshly roasted praline nuts.

Roasting nuts at home is quick and you can play around with adding different flavours to create healthy snacks.

These turmeric and honey roasted nuts have the perfect combination of sweetness with a slight hit of turmeric and black pepper to give them a nice kick.

You can use any combination of raw nuts, such as cashews, almonds, macadamias, walnuts or peanuts. Make a big batch to have as high-protein snacks throughout the week or package some into little bags as gifts for friends and family.

I make this a fair bit as we have arthritis around this joint (ha, ha). Lovely flavors and I feel justified in eating them as they’re healthy but be careful to mix the honey mixture pedantically through the nuts as it can form big clumps that are too much without the nuts.
