Aussie Spiced Nuts - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
2 teaspoons maple syrup
1 -2 garlic clove, minced
2 teaspoons flaked sea salt or 2 teaspoons flaked sea salt, to taste
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper or 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, to taste
500 g mixed unsalted nuts (peanuts, cashews, macadamias, hazelnuts) or 16 ounces mixed unsalted nuts (peanuts, cashews, macadamias, hazelnuts)

Preparation

Preheat the oven to moderate (180\u00b0C/350\u00b0-375\u00b0F/4-5 gasmark); and line an oven tray with baking paper.
In a large pan, combine the olive oil, paprika, maple syrup, garlic, salt flakes, chilli and pepper; stir over a low heat until the syrup has melted and the mixture is well-combined; add the nuts and stir until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture; spread on the prepared baking tray.
Bake for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally; remove and set aside to cool before serving.
TIP: These Aussie Spiced Nuts can be made 2 days ahead and stored in an airtight container. I cannot advise as to how they'd last beyond the two days as I cannot even imagine them lasting that long!
