Shellfish Free Honey Roasted Mixed Nuts
Warm, glossy, and impossible to stop eating, this roasted nut mix hits every note — sweet from the honey, rich from the butter, and just a little fiery if you go for the cayenne. Cashews, almonds, pecans, and walnuts all get tossed in a fragrant spiced glaze before going into the oven, where they slowly turn deep golden and caramelized. The trick is spreading them in a single layer and giving them a stir halfway through so every nut gets evenly coated and nothing burns — though you'll want to keep a close eye toward the end, because honey moves fast once it starts to darken. Once they come off the parchment and cool completely, the glaze sets into a satisfying crunch that makes these feel almost like candy. They're completely free of any seafood or shellfish ingredients, so there's no need to scan labels or second-guess a store-bought snack mix. Serve them at a party, pack them for a road trip, or just keep a bowl on the counter and accept that they won't last long.
