Spelt Honey-Roasted Nuts

A Simple Sweet and Crunchy Snack

Spelt honey-roasted nuts are crisp, lightly sweet, and quick to make. The honey coats the nuts evenly without stickiness. Toasted spelt adds crunch and a mild nutty note. This snack works for sharing or gifting. It keeps well and travels easily.

Why This Recipe Works

Honey caramelises gently in the oven. Spelt crisps without burning. Nuts roast evenly at a steady heat.
The recipe uses one tray and few steps. Flavours deepen as the mix cools.
