Most of the time, I go through phases on whether or not I'm snacking. Some days, it's three meals and that's it while other days, I find myself reaching for a snack every couple of hours (like today, I'm currently snacking on chocolate- but it's also been an 'owning your own business is sometimes way stressful' day). I can only assume my snacking habits are going to increase as the baby boy gets bigger (oh, and by the way, he's a boy! We found out last Saturday.)
This recipe is one of my favorite snacks. I used to think of roasting nuts as a holiday tradition but really, it's a great way to spruce up your daily snack any time of the year. Plus, you can toss together whatever you have on hand. Use one type or up to as many types of nuts as you like. Depending on my mood, I'll do Almonds/Pistachios by themselves or to a mix, like this recipe. Also, be on the lookout for different flavors. This recipe is adapted from a basil pesto recipe from the California Almond Board while my favorite recipe is one I shared on the Kitchn for Curry Roasted Pistachios (so good.)

This sounds delicious! I love how simple the recipe is and that it is free of chemicals. This will make an excellent (and warm!) snack for cold January days. I have a newfound love on mustard so these will be happening soon
Hooray - congratulations on the boy news, Erin!!! I've only got 8 months of experience with my twin girls, but you're in for a lot of fun. And keep up the snacking, especially on something as tasty as this. These are going on my list to make and stash in my desk at work.
Congrats on the baby boy! I love love honey mustard, and don't make it as often as I should. Totally keeping this recipe!

A boy! How exciting! He'll be one lucky chap to have you guys as parents. I am such a snacker but trying to get better at actually channeling that towards tasty + nutritious snacks rather than grazing on whatever happens to be open in the fridge (eg chocolate chips...). Making these asap!
I love how versatile this recipe is. Cheers to roasted nuts in different flavours - and cheers to your baby boy!
This sounds amazing, but I am allergic to egg. It seems that egg white would mainly work to stick the other flavors to the nuts, yes? Although honey and mustard might stick on their own, too, as they are pretty sticky. I really want to try this, and might do so using a chia gel instead of the egg. I'll let you know how it goes if I do.
This looks amazing. Nuts have been my primary snack while pregnant. I would love to have a nice change with this mix.
Yay! These nuts sound so delicious and simple to make. All the honey mustard goodness! 🙂
This looks wonderful!
Hello! This recipe looks so delicious—I can't wait to try it! About how long will these nuts last in an air tight container?
I usually keep them up to a week, but they might last a bit longer!
Just the recipe I was looking for! Thank you for sharing 🙂

I made these, they turned out really good. I was disappointed at first but the flavors intensify when the nuts cool.
This is like the worst recipe I‘ve ever tried roasting nuts... I usually put them into the oven at 180 - but as it says
225 in yours... All burnt. 😭

I'm sorry you had that experience but 225˚F isn't really hot enough to burn things- are you in Celsius?.
