Citric Acid Free Honey Roasted Mixed Nuts
Warm, golden, and impossibly snackable, this sweet-and-savory nut mix is the kind of thing that disappears from the bowl before it even has a chance to cool. The glaze comes together with just honey, butter, and a handful of spices — every single ingredient is naturally free of citric acid, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about hidden additives sneaking in. Cashews, almonds, pecans, and walnuts get tossed in that sticky, spiced coating and roasted low and slow until deeply golden and fragrant. A touch of cinnamon adds warmth, and if you're feeling bold, a pinch of cayenne brings just enough heat to keep things interesting. The hardest part is waiting the full 15 minutes for the glaze to harden — but that patience pays off with a satisfying crunch in every cluster. Make a batch for snacking, gifting, or topping a cheese board, and you'll wonder why you ever reached for a store-bought tin.
