Hazelnut Free Honey Roasted Mixed Nuts
Warm honey, melted butter, and a whisper of cinnamon come together in a glossy glaze that coats every cashew, almond, pecan, and walnut in this irresistible roasted mix. The optional hit of cayenne adds a slow, subtle heat that plays beautifully against the sweetness — it's the kind of snack that disappears from the bowl faster than you'd expect. For anyone navigating a hazelnut allergy or sensitivity, store-bought mixed nut blends can be a minefield, since hazelnuts show up constantly and shared-facility warnings are everywhere. This recipe keeps things completely clear by sticking to four safe, easy-to-source nuts with no hidden surprises. The technique is straightforward — a quick stovetop glaze, a single layer on a parchment-lined pan, and a low-and-slow roast that fills your kitchen with an almost unbearably good smell. Once the glaze hardens and the clusters are broken apart, you've got a crunchy, caramelized snack that works just as well at a party as it does straight from the jar on a Tuesday night.
