Nightshade Free Honey Roasted Mixed Nuts
Sweet, salty, and just a little warm from cinnamon, these honey roasted mixed nuts are the kind of snack that disappears faster than you expect. A simple glaze of honey and butter coats cashews, almonds, pecans, and walnuts before they go into the oven, where everything caramelizes into deeply golden, crunchy clusters. Avoiding nightshades can make spiced snack mixes tricky, since paprika and chili blends often sneak into store-bought options — but this recipe keeps things clean with cinnamon and an optional pinch of cayenne as the only heat. The spice lineup is short, familiar, and completely within your control, so you know exactly what's in every handful. Once the glaze hardens and you break apart those clusters, it's genuinely hard to stop snacking. They work just as well on a cheese board or tucked into a gift bag as they do straight off the parchment.
