PRO TIPS
What to keep in mind.
5 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1Using parchment paper is essential, otherwise, the honey glaze will stick to the pan and be very difficult to clean.
- 2Don't skip stirring them halfway through. This ensures all sides get toasted and prevents the bottoms from burning.
- 3Let the nuts cool completely before eating or storing. They will not be crunchy right out of the oven but will crisp up significantly as they cool down.
- 4Store the cooled nuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
- 5For a slightly different flavor, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper for a sweet and spicy kick.
